Description
‘Digs deep into the roots of equality. . . A fascinating read.’ Cathy Madavan, Kyria Network
Women have proved their equality with men in leadership, scholarship and exercising spiritual gifts, but traditional interpretations of Scripture mean that leadership is still viewed by many as the preserve of men. Penelope Wilcock argues that Christ's new and living way leads us out of all forms of dominance and subjugation, including imprisonment within gender roles. She proposes a reading of Scripture that respects its authority while embracing the full equality of women and men in the eyes of God.
'I wholeheartedly recommend Pen Wilcock’s eye-opening, thought-provoking and paradigm-shifting book as an agenda for humanity.’ Steve Chalke, Oasis Global
‘A fresh and very helpful look at the issue of equality for the everyday Christian.’ Tola Doll Fisher, Woman Alive

I wasn't sure what I expected from "Equality is Biblical", but I'm glad I read it.
I liked how the author questioned some of the most fundamental church doctrines about the place of women in the Christian church and I liked learning about the much bigger role women used to play in church and how Biblical passages can be read in a more egalitarian way.
Even as an atheist I can admit that the vision the author shared how religion should be was quite fascinating and much more likely to garner my support than the current state of Christian institutions.
