I really want to delve into these issues from a theological perspective. The issues run much deeper then just “submission” and “gender roles.” I’m going to get into the Word- deep into the Word. I’ll be reading books on both sides of the issues and I thought I would list out the books I plan to read or have read and will be discussing (in no particular order):
Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womandhood
Discovering Biblical Equality
The Trinity and Subordinationism
So Much More
Passionate Housewives, Desperate for God
Danvers Statement
Raising Maidens of Virtue
Different by Design
Domestic Tranquility
Finally Feminist
The Excellent Wife
Reforming Marriage
The Fruit of Her Hands
Fascinating Womanhood
Men and Women in the Church
Paul, Women, and Wives
Lost Women of the Bible
When Life and Beliefs Collide
Biblical Womanhood in the Home
The Feminist Mistake
Biblical Foundations of Manhood and Womanhood
Equality in Christ
Women, Creation, and the Fall
Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth
Some of these are not theological (So Much More, Passionate Housewives, Raising Maidens, Fascinating Womanhood, Lost Women of the Bible…), but they are indicative of what is out there and what is being sold to women on both sides of the fence. I am sure I will need a brain break once in a while. This is a really big list and I am sure this will take many MANY months of reading, maybe even years. But I am looking forward to it.
