Reviews

[Carson Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Terrific and competent treatment of the issue of men and women in the Bible. This would be a tremendous resource to local churches who wish to disciple their people in biblical anthropology.

[William McElyea · Rating 5 out of 5]

In depth yet easy to read, Dr. Burk goes beyond the few controversial passages and shows how natural law and the narrative arc of Scripture point to a complementary anthropology. This, combined with the helpful excerpts on things like EFS and head coverings, makes this book a much needed update to this conversation.
