Man and Woman: One in Christ
Philip Barton PaynePaperback 2009-11-21
In Man and Woman, One in Christ, New Testament scholar Philip Barton Payne condenses over three decades of research committed to the trustworthiness of Scripture to elucidate Paul's teachings on this controversial topic. The author's exegetical examination is thorough, exploring the influences on Paul, his life as a church leader, and his instructions to various Christian communities. Paul's theology, teaching, and practice consistently affirm the equal standing of men and women. This has far-reaching practical implications for the church and society today. This rigorous analysis of Paul's statements regarding women offers fresh perspective - and in some cases, needed correction - to the discussion of Paul's principles regarding women, their standing, and their ministries in the church and home. Man and Woman, One in Christ is required reading for all who desire to understand the meaning of Paul's statements regarding women and their relevance for Christian relationships and ministry today.
