The Myth of Sexual Equality Howard Douglas King

This is a collection of writings on the subject of men's and women's roles that first appeared in FOUNDATIONS: A Journal of Christian Reconstruction, a bi-weekly email publication of the writings of Howard Douglas King. The author is a Reformed Christian who is also a staunch Biblicist and anti-Modernist. Viewed from a historical perspective, there is nothing radical or out of the ordinary in the analysis presented here. A Christian author advocating these positions in the third century, or the eleventh, or the seventeenth would scarcely have raised an eyebrow. But to do so in the twenty-first is to come up against the dominant Equalitarianism and Feminism of the age. The Myth of Sexual Equality challenges the reigning ideology, and aims to show that the churches of the Reformation have, under pressure from the broader culture, embraced Feminism in principle -- and with it, have compromised their stand on God's word. It provides a thought-provoking study! of the God-ordained differences between the sexes and the ways in which the godly have traditionally recognized and expressed those differences.
