4.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten topic, well discussed 27 Feb 2003
By Richard Wood
Format:Paperback
This is a very well structured, well thought out and well collected selection of essays on a topic of great importance to todays church. Piper and Grudem, in my opinion, take a highly biblical standpoint, and the quality of their own thinking and writing as well as the other contributors in inspiring without being manipulative. You are given plenty of opportunity to form your own opinions from the evidence laid before you - something which I find truly helpful in this sort of book.
Clearly it is written from a particular standpoint, but even if you don't share this with the authors, it commands your attention and thought very well indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first year of marriage can really be a time a tears 11 Sep 2011
By Ryan Ashleigh Fishel
Format:Paperback
The first year of marriage can really be a time a tears. It was for us. My wife struggled especially with her identity and role--what does it mean to be a good wife? We came across lots of pragmatic approaches, but we wanted solidity. We wanted real answers--not just the next 10-step approach. We wanted to understand our roles clearly, with no confusion, that we might begin to function truly as a God-honouring family.

Among other books, at first we only read Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood's first chapter, where John Piper defines and illustrates the pleasing significance of a man's and woman's roles. At the time that was enough for us. For us it cleared up everything. To this day it's still left its desired impression on our marriage. The foundations laid in that chapter especially are so understandable. Really you just turn to each other, as husband and wife, and build up from there. It's beautiful.

But over time the rest of the book has become my primary resource for understanding more deeply what I believe and why, as well as help to persuade others of the truth and goodness of our complementary roles. And I believe the authors in this book listen closely and respond profoundly to the other-sides, the feminist and egalitarian arguments, which we hear and see in simple-form everyday on the streets, TV, movies and families around the West, with piercing, unpretentious wisdom.

What we have here is a truly professional and compelling look into the Bible on the roles of men and women. I believe it satisfies our starved questions and, by God's grace through prayer, will lead your family in imaging our great Saviour Jesus Christ and His beautiful bride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Placing Biblical Authority over Culture 4 Jun 2012
By Manable
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have seen reviews of this book (on Amazon and elsewhere), that slate this book for not adhering to Biblical principles, trying to uphold traditional values etc, while sacrificing integrity when interpreting the Bible. This, I would venture to say, is quite untrue. Though I doubt the other reviewers have actually, purposefully misrepresented what Piper, Grudem and the others who contributed to this book have said, I feel it is important to point out a few things.

Piper and Grudem set out at the start what they believe to be the essence of biblical manhood and womanhood, but this does not mean that they made up their minds before coming to the Bible and finding evidence for it. They set out what they believe is the essence from the start for the sake of clarity and so people know what this books view is from the start, as well as to provide a brief overview. This book isn't the product of faulty hermeneutics, but of good scholarly research. I do wonder if the people who have reviewed this book have genuinely, prayerfully read this book thoroughly, while studying the Bible, before coming to their conclusions. It sometimes feels like people have found out what the books aim is and then slated it because they simply do not agree. Often the reason for this is cultural conditioning I would venture to guess.

The book is set out into 25 Chapters, which is then split into various sections, such as initially, an overview, an exegetical argument from various passages in the Bible on what it teaches about manhood and womanhood, as well as a study of biology, sociology and psychology etc on the subject on manhood and womanhood. Much time is spent of the Biblical basis of the different roles of men and women in the church, home and "secular" life. When reading this book, it should be remembered that the authors (of some are women) have gone to the greatest care in interpreting the Bible on this subject and genuinely believe this to be what the Word of God teaches. We should remember they are brothers and sisters in Christ, and are most likely much wiser than us. Even if you disagree with the conclusion come to in this book, it should not be slated for things the authors never did. Such as, attempting to hold up traditions, or not interpreting the Bible honestly.

I for one loved this book and found the arguments, though running against popular culture mainly, finds it's basis in the Bible, and thorough biblical study.
