Men and Women Equal Yet Different: A Brief Study of the Biblical Passages on Gender

This book is not meant to be a detailed explanation of the complementarian position, but a quick overview suitable for persons unfamiliar with the biblical and theological issues present. Strauch hits all the major points, and provides a good summary of complementarian thought. He definitely achieves his intended purpose.This volume would be an excellent basis for a Bible study with a group of laypersons, or as an addition to a smaller church library.For a MUCH more elaborate, detailed and scholarly treatment of the complementarian viewpoint, try "Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" by John Piper and Wayne Grudem.If it's a quick, easy-to-read overview of what the Bible says on gender relationships that you want, however, then this book is the one to buy.

This is a great book that helps us to see and appreciate the difference between man and woman. God created us equal yet different. Though equal, we have been assigned different roles. Today much of the Church gives in to pressure from society when it comes to this subject. Alex brings out the importance of both the man's and the woman's role although they are different. My wife and I both have enjoyed this book very much. Give it a try. There are not many personal opinions here, only what the Bible says. God made both sexes and knows very well what He created them for. Both sexes have a misconception of what they are and of why they were created different. Thoughout the years most people had a totally wrong view of the male and female position. I'm glad the Lord has called Alex Strauch to write a book on this subject. This book is very helpful. Read it!
