Danvers Complementarianism – Part 1 is here.
Distinctions in masculine and feminine roles are ordained by God as part of the created order, and should find an echo in every human heart.
Danvers Statement – Affirmation 2
My disdain for the Danvers Statement and the Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood differs from that of Evangelical Egalitarians. My criticisms include:
- Exegetical incompetence/dissembling and eisegetical license for self-serving male purposes
- Low vision of marriage and the marital Ideal
- Introduction of a legalistic rigidity in gender relations (“roles”), which Scriptures prudently avoids
- An unsound Scriptural and rational basis for decision-making and conflict resolution
- A superficial comprehension of the distinctions between genders which impedes the Christian argument against same-sex relationships
