About this book

There is much discussion and confusion around the issues of gender equality and gender roles, and the church is not exempt. Some even believe that the Bible contributes to sexism against women and that God is, in some way, sexist.

In this warm, conversational and sympathetic book, Kathleen Nielson looks at what the Bible really says about women and what it reveals about God’s attitude towards them. She asks the hard questions about the Old Testament Law, the role of women in marriage and the role of women in the church, consistently pointing us to God’s word and his perfectly created order.

She not only provides Biblical reasoning in answer to ...

Endorsements

I loved this book! Women and God is more than just an overview of the roles of women in the family and the church. It tackles all the usual texts as well as the more shocking and perplexing ones that other people sometimes avoid. Kathleen anticipates all the questions and objections that people have, and then answers them from the text with wisdom, clarity, and sensitivity. What makes this book so compelling is her conviction that God is good, and that women can have confidence that living by his word is a beautiful thing and for our good.

I am encouraged by this book, which takes on a subject that is not easy or popular as it grapples with some seriously hard questions and helps equip us to answer them from God’s word. As you read the book, it is easy to see that Kathleen herself delights in the goodness of God’s plan for women as she carefully and winsomely seeks to show us how that goodness runs throughout the whole Bible.

As we face a new post-christian world, we need this book. Warm, engaging, inviting, articulate, and convincing, this book models how Christians can face this world's hard questions about gender and sexuality with the gospel's beautiful truths. Reading this book feels like a long conversation with a safe friend, steaming mug of tea in hand. Kathleen proclaims gospel light without erasing her readers' diverse points of view or lived experiences. You will find no platitudes, no cliches, no tired defenses of priggish moralism. Instead, you will find Jesus, the Word made flesh, arms open.

(Review written for 'Women and God (ebook)')

Complementarianism is a topic that has been a real struggle for me as a women interested in ministry and coming from a egalitarian church background. I have benefited greatly from many women in various levels of ministry. However, God has brought me into a wonderful church that happens to be complementarian. So this is a topic I have had to wrestle with. I have read a few books before and talked with many people but always left sad or confused and not convinced of the complementarian position. This book is very thoughtfully written and helpful in being able to see ...

(Review written for 'Women and God (ebook)')

I've heard lots of views on women in the bible... Some say Paul was not for women, and more untrue claims. This book is helpful in making sense of some passages about women in the bible.

I appreciate the discussing of this subject with scripture and not opinions. Being taught in some hard nosed ways in the past, I have struggled with this subject. The continuity of this book makes it easy to follow and including the scripture references helped me stop and contemplate what was being said. I have been encouraged and greatly helped through these pages. Thank you!
