Bøger af Alan G. Padgett

Colin Brown's Christianity Western Thought was widely embraced as a philosophy text. Steve Wilkens and Alan Padgett continued his project, and this third volume examines 20th century ideas and their influence on Christian thought.

What does the Bible really say about gender, the ethics of submission, and male-female roles? In this book, well-regarded theologian Alan Padgett offers a fresh approach to the debate. Through his careful interpretation of Paul's letters and broader New Testament teaching, the author shows how Christ's submission to the church models an appropriate understanding of gender roles and servant leadership. As Christ submits to the church, so all Christians must submit to, serve, and care for one another. Padgett articulates a creative approach to mutual submission and explores its practical outworking in the church today, providing biblical and ethical affirmation for equality in leadership.
