"A brilliant man with decades of experience in mostly Baptist churches and seminary contexts, he knew Hebrew and Akkadian and Aramaic...When I asked him to comment on how Genesis delineates male/female difference,... The idea struck him as preposterous..."

Good points:
Q: Iβm a staunch egalitarian... reading arguments for complementarianism fills me with dread. Do I need to look at both sides...

It wasn't just the progressive evangelical feminists rising that concerned Piper/Grudem when they launched a backlash called complementarianism. Some of the founders of Christian for Biblical equality were authors & theologians who led the biblical, evangelical feminist movement.

It seemed by late 80s after a conference of where feminists were hesdlined, Grudem called for more collaborative networks to join to mobilize, Danvers Staement, CBMW, SBC (an engine)...
20.09.2025 16:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Don't ignore a vital part of Christian history when the word complementarianism entered the world, when powerful evangelical networks joined to silence evangelical feminists & marketed a new kind of masculine Christianity, a modern day, softer version of Christian patriarchy. And here we are.

It wasn't just women who led in taking a stand for biblical equality when the complementarian backlash targeted evangelical feminists. But it took years for many to be convinced. @nijaykgupta.bsky.social
