This book encourages dialogue on issues where gender and faith meet. Recent decades have seen huge shifts in how men and women relate. Do our churches and our theology reflect the way we live our lives? Male and female writers tackle subjects of importance to the church such as what does the Bible have to say about gender? What does it mean to live in a female or male body? How do we create homes and relationships that value men and women equally? How does gender intersect with race or age? How do we raise children in nonsexist ways?In working through such issues, readers explore what it means to be women and men together in the church. Discussion questions follow each chapter. Carol Penner, editor.
