Description: Written for those who want to know more about the biblical teachings on gender but don't have time to read lengthy tomes on the subject, this small book is also perfect for high school and college students. It addresses one of the most significant changes that has occurred in human history: the gender revolution. Like the rest of society, Christianity has been permanently affected by this change. In reality, the gender transformation taking place within the world wide Christian community is a radical departure from biblical, apostolic Christianity. Men and Women: Equal Yet Different presents the complementarian perspective that men and women are equal yet different, and introduces the key terms, arguments, Scripture passages and research related to this position. Each chapter includes questions for group study.

"..[Strauch] stands squarely on the side of historical Christianity with his basic presentation of male-female issues..." — John MacArthur, Jr., Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA

"...[this] volume...is strategically important. [It] gives an introduction to the subject that offers clear and easily understood information for the lay person as well as challenging considerations for the scholar." -- Dorothy Patterson, Professor of Theology in Women’s Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

"This book is one of the best investments of time and money on one of the most important issues of our day--and of any time. Take, read, feed your minds, clear your heads and rejoice in and live out God’s truth." — George W. Knight III, former New Testament Professor, Knox Theological Seminary

"...biblically sound and clearly written. It should be read by everyone who is seriously concerned about the future of the church." -- Dr. Jack Cottrell, Professor of Theology, Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary

"Equal Yet Different is absolutely terrific. Well laid out, thorough, concise and vey helpful." — Dr. William McRae, President Emeritus, Tyndale College & Seminary

"If we do not invite the biblical text to define church order, the intrusive culture will. The Zeitgeist, the spirit of the age, is a tyrant to be resisted, not embraced. Alexander Strauch’s Men and Women: Equal Yet Different lets the Bible speak for itself in the clearest terms." -- R. Kent Hughes, Pastor, College Church, Wheaton, IL

Review Summary: Very weak arguments for the hierachical position Date: 2004-06-06
 
Details: This book says it is suitable for young people and by that means teens. It gives very weak arguments for the hierarchical position on gender. This book could be used as a tool for the egalitarian position on gender as the arguments are so weak and easily dismissed once one studies the relevant passages of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek in 1st century context. When the author misinterprets via eisegesis (reading into the text what is not there) it is very obvious, such as his reading of Genesis 2. For example, he would have one believe that calling something a female is naming it (rather than categorizing it), parents would be surprised to hear this on delivery of a baby and the Doctor proclaiming "it's a girl"; they would then need to say they have the right to name the baby, haha. He also claims there is no use of 'submit' (Greek 'hupotasso') in a mutual sense, when Ephesian 5:21 uses it in exactly that way, in fact in the Greek Eph 5:22 HAS NO VERB and so must steal the verb from 5:21. He points out Jesus needed to be a man (which is true in order to fulfill prophecy), but neglects to point out that he also needs to be a free jew from the tribe of Judah and many other requirements to fulfill prophecy yet NONE of these requirements are needed to be a disciple, as "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave not free, male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus." Interestingly, he does mention Deborah, one of 3 judge prophets in the Bible, but simply does not see any implications here. He simply asserts that Greek 'kephale' cannot mean source, when that is exactly what it means metaphorically in 1st Century Greek.
 
Review Summary: Five Stars for Simplicity and Brevity Date: 2002-02-16
 
Details: 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.

 
Review Summary: No Personal Opinions From Alex. Only What The Bible Says! Date: 2000-03-14
 
Details: 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!
