On this episode of Knowing Faith, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about something that’s been getting a lot of buzz: complementarianism. What does it mean and how can we practice this well within the church?
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- What is complementarianism?
- Why do we care about this doctrine?
- How should theological method play a role in the complementarianism discussion?
- What arguments are put forward in regards to trinitarianism?
- Our views on complementarianism have to live in the tensions of scripture: What is New Testament preaching? How do we synthesize 1 Cor. 14 with 1 Tim. 2? What is the nature of authority?
- What offices of the church are available to men?
- What offices of the church are available to women?
Helpful Definitions:
- Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.
- Theological method: How do you appropriately draw conclusions from the bible.
- Eternal functional subordination: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.
