Biblical Patriarchy: Male Headship in Family, Church
and State. This 6x9-inch, 268-page paperback offers an in-depth Biblical analysis of male headship in culture.
The book begins with an introduction to feminism in America, including its diversity
and the theological climate fostering it. The hermeneutics of evangelical
feminists are examined. It then proceeds to the origin and definition of male
headship, focusing on creation. Biblical
Patriarchy is one of the few books discussing the Biblical fact that in
Genesis church and state were part of the family. From there, male headship in
the family is examined, noting Biblical definitions of different family
relationships and examining the meaning of the term "father" in Biblical culture. In exploring male
headship in the church, considerable exegetical documentation is provided for
key passages: 1 Corinthians 11 and 14; I Timothy 2; and Galatians 3:28. When it comes to male
headship in the state, most complementarian scholars are egalitarian. Is this
what Scripture teaches? An appendix examines the subject of rights.
