Equal and Different - Softcover

Does the decision to ordain women in the Church of England go against natural law and thereby threaten the stability of church and family? This comprehensive assessment of the current gender debate and its present implications, demonstrates that it does. With a passionate concern he calls for men and women to embrace gladly their God-given differences and rejoice in the equality they share. This wide-ranging and controversial argument spans the biblical record, the lessons of history, including the impact of feminism, the relationship between headship and submission, and - a key motivation behind the book - the place of the family, so much under threat, both at home and within the church.
