Since time immemorial, women have been the most consistently and universally abused people group on plant Earth, as men have systematically, unrelentingly, and often violently dominated women in virtually every human culture. Unfortunately women of faith have also been virtually bound in chains of submission and gagged by demands for silence since the end of the apostolic era.
God and Women brings serious biblical and historical scholarship to bear on the role of women in family, society, and church in an analysis of Gods original intentions for women and for men at the moment when he created humanity.
- Who is Woman?
- Recovering Gods Self-Image
- Rediscovering the God of Scripture
- Feminine Images of God in Scripture
- Feminine Imagery in the Holy Spirit
- Gods Image in Male and Female
Whether you are a woman or a man, this book and the other four volumes in this series will literally set you free, challenging you to think and to act on divine truths from the Hebraic foundations of your faith. You will clearly see Gods original design and intent for women, and you will start tearing down prison walls that have deprived half of Gods children of the freedom to pursue his gifts and calling in the family, in the society, and especially in the community of faith.
