Description: Andrew Bartlett's debut theological work, 'Men and Women in Christ: Fresh Light from the Biblical Texts' landed like a bomb in the evangelical debate on gender roles. Reviews from both sides of an entrenched disagreement ranged from ignoring his main point, to seeing the value in his careful, measured approach. An international arbitrator, Bartlett has been invited to speak on the topic of this book at the Evangelical Theological Society (in a packed debate with Tom Schreiner), Christians for Biblical Equality's International conference, and around the world. In this magisterial new book, Bartlett further clarifies his own position - neither egalitarian nor complementarian, but seeking to be fundamentally biblical - in a book that is sure to reset the discussion. As well as adapted and updated versions of the material in his first book, True Complementarity examines: - The teaching of Jesus on Women and Apostles. - The long-standing question of a 'slippery slope' levelled by some. - Issues of authorship and hermeneutics pertinent to the debate. - a genuinely new engagement with 1 Timothy 2:9-15 True Complementarity invites the reader to consider what the Bible really says about men and women in Christ.
