Equality is Biblical

Many Christians still feel uneasy about the idea that women are equal, preferring to speak of complementary roles. Women are still absent from the list of speakers at many Christian events, or included only as tokens. This legacy needs challenging; women are just as capable as men of leadership and scholarship; women are just as likely as men to receive spiritual gifts. But where is the biblical support for this perception? Penelope Wilcock offers an alternative reading of the Bible which tells a different story: one in which men and women are both submitted to Christ; in which dominance games are set aside; in which the Cross brings reconciliation between the sexes; and in which both are inheritors of the Kingdom. Penelope Wilcock is author of many books including The Hawk and the Dove series.
