What does the Bible say about the role of women in the church? Christians tend to fall into two camps: the egalitarians and the complementarieans. This study sets a case for positive complementarianism.

Review Quotes:
"Cooper expertly reclaims from egalitarians texts such as Galatians 3:28 and passages about women in the Gospels and Acts, exulting in the unity of men and women in Christ and their partnership in ministry, whilst showing that it is a false move to adduce them in support o f the exercise of that ministry in an identical way. He helpfully steps back from the question of gender to survey the servant nature of Christian leadership, demonstrating that any approach which equates authority with status proceeds on a wrong footing from the outset." - Daniel Newman, Churchman
