Putting Women In Their Place: Moving Beyond Gender Stereotypes in Church and Homes

Recent declarations by the Southern Baptist Convention concerning male and female roles have ignited major controversies among Baptists. The place of women in Baptist churches and homes, as well as employment restrictions upon SBC college and seminary teachers, chaplains, missionaries, and denominational employees, have thrust the issue to the forefront of Baptist life. In Putting Women in Their Place: Moving Beyond Gender Stereotypes in Church and Home, twelve respected authors address key questions for Baptists desiring a biblically based and theologically sound discussion of gender issues. For students and teachers, laity and clergy, this text will serve as a basic introduction to the proper place of women in church, home, and society.
