Description
Book SynopsisThis book is for students of theology, Christian ethics, and religious and gender studies; and everyone longing for the full acceptance of women and LGBTIQ people in the churches and beyond. It exposes the roots of prejudice against women and sexual minorities, and offers constructive proposals for gender justice.
Trade Review'This book will unsettle many in the Christian ethical tradition but it will also impress many with its adroit use of biblical and theological scholarship and reasoned response to one of the crying moral issues of the day - gender discrimination … Highly recommended.'
