Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism

This book is a must-have for any one who still sees the so-called "debate" on the role of men and women as important in a post-modern society. Piper and Grudem lay out a very compelling argument for differing roles of men and women within the church while remaining very gracious and humble throughout their exposition and commentary. I especially thought that this book, more than other books, attempts to search for a common theme within the Bible on the subject, and therefore, one is able to see a common message form. Too often, people use one verse or another to justify their positions on just about everything. This book searches for unity within the Bible. One word of caution - if you are dead set against Piper and Grudem from the beginning, this book won't change your mind. It's not supposed to. Rather, for those who may not see the issue as relevant in our day and age, this book should motivate you to look into the issue more and leave with the opinion that the roles of men and women within ministry are in fact very important, biblically based, and evident within the Bible.
