I wrote the above post several months ago when this forum was under development. Since then I have written more about complementarianism and egalitarianism in this article: Not Complementarianism or Egalitarianism but God’s New Creation Them.
The them message is so needed today! As I continue reading and researching on the internet, I see the them perspective emerging. Yesterday a friend sent me a link to a podcast done by Dallas Theological Seminary about gender and the Bible. Throughout it I could hear the them message even though sometimes a blurring complementarian fog rolled over it. Overall, I found the presentation very, very encouraging.
I am persuaded that the Spirit of God is moving to bring to light the truth about male and female together, which, after all, is the image of God (Gen. 1:26-28).
