John MacArthur argues from Scripture that men and women are equal in worth and distinct in role, and that the distinction is a gift rather than a limitation. 272 pages. Read more.
For decades the culture has worked to blur the lines between men and women in the name of equality, and John MacArthur's contention is that the result has been confusion and frustration rather than harmony. He returns to God's stated intention for men and women in creation and in the church, treating authority in marriage, the calling of mothers in the home, and the innate differences between male and female as designed rather than accidental.
The position is a complementarian one, held and argued from the biblical text, and MacArthur makes the case that embracing these differences is what produces security, balance and love in a marriage and a family. Readers who want to see how that argument is built from Scripture will find it set out directly here. 272 pages, published by David C. Cook.
