I'll be keeping an eye out for this book you mentioned. In my searching, I think I've come to a mainly complementarian theology (though of course I am egalitarian in my belief that men and women are of equal worth and value in God's sight and in his church); however, it is the outworking of that complementarian theology that sometimes causes some concerns. Not all women in the church are or will marry and bear children; their value as God's creation is about so much more than that.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258809974808765821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385523154268826980.post-48076293377028326372012-01-21T08:33:56.995-06:002012-01-21T08:33:56.995-06:00Those are really good thoughts.

Also, Naomi's life must have shown God's love, or Ruth wouldn't have wanted to know more abut Him.<br /><br />I love this story; there's so much one can learn from it.bluiishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875634186680999572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385523154268826980.post-15001585012455997242012-01-20T17:18:48.309-06:002012-01-20T17:18:48.309-06:00Good stuff, Brenda.
