Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

Kim approaches the table where her friends are gathered. She struggles under the weight of the massive book she is carrying. What treasure does she carry? As she places the tome upon the table, the title is revealed for all to see: Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, edited by John Piper and Wayne Grudem.

I realize it's not merely an article that you can click and read in ten minutes. I read through / skimmed chapter two, which is an overview of issues in question & answer form, and I found it to be interesting. Questions 31 and 32 deal with head coverings. There was another question in there about "women being silent in the church" from the end of 1 Cor 14.

Question 49 asks about how a lay person could ever hope to come to a clear conviction on these questions when so many evangelical scholars disagree. The response is quite interesting.

The table of contents reveals a whole chapter on head coverings, and a whole chapter on women being silent in the church which I will likely read.

So, I know people probably all have their own "goto" teachers whom they respect and look to for insight on tough things. One of mine is Piper. I appreciate his thoroughness, and care to walk people through studying and interpreting the text. So anyway, I won't be offended if your time is spent studying elsewhere (or other topics even). But this resource looks helpful so I'm recommending it =)
