"cbmw.org will provide you tons of good resources on this [complementarianism]. cbmw.org They have a booth here in the exhibit hall. Recovering Biblical Mahood and Womanhood, a great book you ought to read on this." – Ligon Duncan CBMW Logo Ligon Duncan, in his 'role' as moderator for the panel discussion on complementarianism at this year's T4G, strongly endorses the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW), as stated above. Why is CBMW so important to Duncan? Because until last summer he was the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Now Russell Moore serves in that capacity, although the website doesn't yet reflect the changing of the guard. In the partial transcript of the complementarianism discussion featured in the previous post, it was interesting that John Piper did not remember many details about how "complementarianisim" came into existence.

"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…" Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) http://www.domesticviolencenomore.com/ John Piper, one of the foremost authorities on complementarianism, recently addressed ways in which women can lead/serve at a “Let the Nations Be Glad” seminar organized by the Desiring God ministry. Not surprisingly, he began by explaining why men, and not women, should be the leaders in their homes and the church. In a Christian Post article entitled "John Piper Explains Why Women Shouldn't Lead Men," Piper is quoted as follows: (link) “The Bible really cares about the dynamic between men and women. It has nothing to do with a woman’s incompetency. A man’s headship in the home is not based on his being superiorly competency," said Piper, the pastor for preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as he responded to the question of what’s the place of women in missions. "Men are not superior," Piper said. “She is more competent than you [men] in most ways.” He said a wife could be smarter, more read, and know her Bible better than her husband. “This has to do with God’s created dynamic of what a man is and what Continue reading →
