Review

“The eclipse of the family in human society is one of the most disastrous developments of our age. Sadly, the eclipse of the biblical model of marriage and family has also happened within far too many evangelical churches. Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger come to the rescue with biblical and theological insight and practical wisdom.”―R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary“Models the best of Christian discernment about matters of gender, theology, justice, roles, and gifts. It is faithful in its representation both of God’s character and our own propensity to sin, pastoral in its application of faithful biblical hermeneutics, insightful in its explanation of original word usages and their application, concise in its framing of hot-button issues and the hermeneutical fallacies that often fuel them, and charitable in its handling of the motives of those who disagree.”―Rosaria Butterfield, Former Professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key“A refreshingly clear, well-informed, balanced, thorough, biblically faithful overview of the teachings of the entire Bible about manhood and womanhood as designed by God and intended for the joy and well-being of both women and men. A significant achievement!”―Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary“Scriptural, thorough, scholarly, irenic, and practical, this vital resource will help any serious student of the Bible understand God’s good, wise, and wonderful design.”―Mary A. Kassian, author, Girls Gone Wise“The brilliant and respected Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger are wise experts, guiding us through the Bible for a substantive, gospel-rich, and pastorally applied theology of masculinity, femininity, and the goodness of our differences by God’s design.”―Russell D. Moore, President, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention“Whenever we consider our God-given design, we must do so with humble hearts. What a gift to be able to appreciate how the triune, eternal God made us! This study on God’s design will be useful in every field of Christian work all over the world.”―Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full“Some books are unhelpful, others are helpful, and a select few are spectacularly helpful. God’s Design for Man and Woman belongs with that select few. With thoroughness, nuance, and textual insight, it simultaneously unfolds biblical complementarianism as a coherent, life-giving worldview and answers common questions related to it.”―Owen Strachan, Associate Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; coauthor, The Grand Design; coeditor, Designed for Joy“As the consequences of gender distortions permeate more relationships, families, and churches, the need is urgent for biblical clarity about God’s design and the work of the Spirit in restoring us to our original purpose. Here is a faithful guide to living as God created us, for our good and his glory.”―Candice Watters, Cofounder, Boundless.org; author, Get Married: What Women Can Do to Help It Happen“Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger have teamed up to write one of the most helpful, comprehensive, and practical books to date on what Scripture teaches about God’s design for men and women and its implications for marriage, families, relationships in the church, and in our society.”―Stephen J. Wellum, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, God the Son Incarnate; Kingdom through Covenant; and Christ from Beginning to End“God’s Design for Man and Woman is rigorously biblical, and the exegetical work is what we have come to expect of the Köstenbergers. Those who believe in the inspiration of the Bible will find this presentation compelling and hard to dismiss. Even those who do not accept biblical authority will, if honest, respect the arguments that are made. This book will serve the church of the Lord Jesus well.”―Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary“Returning to a topic on which they both have already shown mastery, the Köstenbergers here round off their achievements with a full, lucid, and compelling demonstration that all Scripture treats male leadership as the creational pattern. Complementarians in particular will find here an invaluable resource, as indeed will any other open-minded Bible students.”―J. I. Packer, Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College“From Genesis to Revelation, Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger masterfully present God’s plan for manhood and womanhood in the home, church, and society. This thought-provoking, insightful, and theologically grounded resource could not be timelier. This is a must-read that I highly recommend!”―Monica Rose Brennan, Associate Professor and Director of Women’s Ministries, Liberty University“The authors break no new ground; they do not intend to. What they have done is put together biblical material in convenient and broadly comprehensive textbook format―material that brings together historical surveys, along with some exegesis, biblical theology, and pastoral application. One need not agree with every detail of the argument to see that this book meets a need to inform students and others who are new to the debate of some of its most inescapable parameters.”―D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; Cofounder, The Gospel Coalition“This unique and accessible book presents a positive, constructive, and winsome case for the whole gamut of biblical teaching about the divine design for men and women, as well as much practical application for how to live it out in both the home and the church. All who read this book will profit greatly by both their biblical theology and their godly example.”―Gregg R. Allison, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Elder, Sojourn Community Church; author, Sojourners and Strangers; Roman Catholic Theology and Practice; and Historical Theology“While academic in nature, the text clearly interprets Scripture and makes practical life application. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for all Christians and encourage teachers in Christian colleges and universities to use it as a textbook.”―Rhonda Harrington Kelley, Professor of Women’s Ministry, president’s wife, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary“Moving beyond debates that discuss men’s and women’s roles in isolation from one another, Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger take a biblical-theological approach that seeks to understand God’s design for men and women from the progressively unfolding narrative of Scripture. Responding to the profound influence of feminism, the authors call on men to exercise leadership in ways that exhibit genuine care and responsibility for those they are charged to nurture and protect.”―Daniel I. Block, Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College“The Köstenbergers have masterfully traced the Creator’s plan for man and woman by methodically stepping through Scripture. This approach makes it easy for the reader to understand the comprehensive design God intended from the beginning. It is certainly a book I will enjoy sharing with my students.”―Denise O’Donoghue, Director of Women’s Life and Assistant Professor of Ministry to Women, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary“This meaty (but not technical) volume will equip readers to grasp the beauty, utility, and missional importance of being created in God’s image, male and female. It deserves a wide readership in church and college or seminary classroom.”―Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary“Using the primary picture of the household and pointing to a call for men to carry out their calling, this book is a careful and sober study of biblical texts. It calls on us to reflect on what Scripture teaches, making many important points along the way.”―Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director of Cultural Engagement, The Hendricks Center, Dallas Theological Seminary“We live in a day when God’s order has been turned on its head, resulting in confusion and heartache―even in the church. Margaret and Andreas Köstenberger team up to present a comprehensive and thoroughly biblical exposition of manhood and womanhood.”―Theresa Wigington Bowen, Pastor’s wife; mother; Founder, Candle in the Window Hospitality Network“The Köstenbergers have thoroughly researched Scripture concerning God’s design for men and women, and their efforts have produced a book that will challenge much of what the church does today. Anyone wanting to devote serious study to the topic of men’s and women’s roles in the church needs to read this book.”―William Jones, President, Columbia International University“For years now, Andreas and Margaret Köstenberger have labored to help the church recover a biblical vision of manhood and womanhood in the midst of a culture that is moving increasingly away from God’s design. We are so pleased to see the fruits of their labors gathered together into this wonderful new volume. Thoroughly biblical, deeply theological, and also practical and accessible, the Köstenbergers have given the church a great gift in an hour of great need.”―Michael J. Kruger, President and Samuel C. Patterson Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte“The issue of biblical manhood and womanhood is long overdue for a resource that takes the entire storyline of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, into account. This book will be tremendously helpful to pastors, teachers, married couples, parents, singles, and especially college students.”―Matt Schoolfield, Lead Pastor, Fellowship Raleigh, Raleigh, North Carolina“Christian women today are hungry to know what a biblical woman really looks like. If you really want an accurate picture, I encourage you to read―no, study―this book. Not only will you get the biblical portrait of woman, but you will also discover what the Bible says about man and how they relate to each other.”―Chris Adams, Senior Lead Women’s Ministry Specialist, LifeWay Christian Resources“Sexual ethics and complementary gender roles have far more to do with the effectiveness of the church than we tend to admit. Dr. and Mrs. Köstenberger have given a comprehensive biblical theology calling the church to biblical gender roles and a God-glorying sexual ethic that will once again display the glorious covenant love of Christ and his church to a world in need of redemption.”―David Miller, Church Planter and Lead Pastor, Sentral Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma“In a day and age where men’s and women’s roles are under attack, this book gives a thorough and essential exposition of such a foundational topic. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. It is sure to be a helpful resource for the church as well as personal discipleship!”―Dana Cordell, Pastor’s wife, Treasuring Christ Church, Raleigh, North Carolina“The whole of the Bible helps women understand their purpose as followers of Christ. The Köstenbergers have served both men and women by unpacking the distinction of gender roles and sexual identity in the entirety of the Scriptures. This is a personal, well-researched, comprehensive, and very useful book.”―Kay Milioni, Pastor’s wife, Open Door Baptist Church, Raleigh, North Carolina; mother  “The result of more than two decades of research by two competent scholars, this clear, compelling, and accessible book fills a gap in literature on this subject.”―Pete and Vicki Schemm, Senior Pastor, Cave Spring Baptist Church, Roanoke, Virginia; Vicki is a mother and pastor’s wife Â

From the Author

We've written this book because we're convinced that it's vital to wrestle with our identity as men and women for the sake of healthy marriages, families, and churches but, most importantly, for the true expression of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our world. What we believe about our identity as men and women is central to who we are as individuals, couples, and families and how each of us pursues our life calling. Biblical manhood and womanhood is too important a subject not to think through carefully as a Christian.

Of all of the books, articles, webcasts, sermons, commentaries, etc., that I’ve consumed on this subject, this book is the best. The intentional focus on using biblical theology to ascertain clarity for passages that challenge us is absolutely the right way to approach interpretation. Too often I have read examples of proof-texting and leveraging sketchy cultural/contextual references or dubious interpretations of key words by scholars who try to twist scriptures to say something other than what they actually say or to seriously limit a passage’s value to instruct God’s church for all time. I highly commend this book to anyone who wants to understand the truth of scripture that is so often counter-cultural.

I am very happy with this order. it came in perfect condition and on time. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Andreas J. Köstenberger is founder of Biblical Foundations and Senior Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at SEBTS. Andreas and his wife Margaret aren't new to the discussion of manhood and womanhood. In 2008 she wrote, Jesus and the Feminists: Who Do They Say That He Is? Which was followed by Andreas' work, God, Marriage, and Family: Rebuilding the Biblical Foundation. They come together at an important time and provide us with an sure foundation in their new book, God's Design for Man and Woman: A Biblical Theological Survey, and produce an exhaustive and biblical look at gender roles.Let me say from the top, don't be intimidated by the title. The phrase biblical theology can be intimidating, and perhaps cause some people to bypass this work. I've been in those shoes before, and I've read those books that are like a slow walking through mud. But I was pleasantly surprised to find this book easy to read. You won't need a dictionary to accompany you on your trip. And it's that readability that makes it so useful to the everyday man and woman. You can speak the truth until you're blue in the face, but if you can't say it in a way that is easily understood than you're doing it wrong.When I say this work is exhaustive, I mean ex-hau-stive. Have you ever wanted to know every single interaction Jesus had with a woman, regardless of how seemingly insignificant? There's a table for that. How about Jesus' interactions with men? Or the men and women in his parables? There's a table for that too. There's nothing skipped. And even though you may not ever need to reference such a table, the effort shows the care and precision the author's took to be thorough. This is a well-informed, balanced, and biblically faithful overview of the bible's teaching about manhood and womanhood.It should go without saying that the book addresses the creation narrative and dives deeply into the roles given to Adam and Eve before the fall, and how the fall effected the outworking of those roles. What would a book on men and women be if it didn't start at the beginning? But the strength of this book lies in it's thoroughness. It traverses the Old Testament, showing how God gave male leaders to Israel, especially in worshipful roles as the High Priest. But it also doesn't skip over the notable women in the Old Testament. They address them in what I think are fair and right ways.Moving to the New Testament they just as much care. Showing Jesus' interactions with men and women, life in the early church, Paul's letters to the churches, and discuss in-depth the most controversial verses in this conversation: Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 5:22-25; 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, 14:33b-36; 1 Timothy 2:12-15, 3:2; and Titus 2:4-5. I found their treatment of 1 Timothy - "yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control." - to be fascinating.In their treatment of the evangelical feminist perspective the Köstenberger's are very charitable with those whom they disagree. Nothing ruins your testimony quicker than being disingenuous and unfair about the counter arguments to your claim. They not only show the counter arguments, but deal with them wisely, biblically, fairly, and pastorally. They have a great handle on the issues.I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a solid treatment of the issues surrounding gender roles and desires to learn more about God's good, wise, and wonderful design for men and women

Great book filled with Scriptural support and correction. All we need is to look at the mess in the various denominations that have disobeyed gender roles to see the great need of this book to call all back to the truth of God's original plan for man and woman. I have experienced first hand the destruction and division caused by individuals in the Church who want to changed God's Word for political correctness. The authors are educated professionals and no doubt sent by God to correct the obstinate and pride of unbelievers. Good work and pray those that need correction will humble themselves and take some good advice found in sound teaching. Amen

A very clear well written biblical theology that helps clear away the clutter of gender issues and helps us understand God's intentions in the creation of man and woman to act as His representatives here on planet earth. The charts and tables that illustrate the various topics and analyses are extremely helpful. Whether you are complementarian or egalitarian you need to interact with this book and let the well laid out biblical journey inform your opinion.

Great book. One of the best I have read on the subject. Straight forward and easy to comprehend. I highly recommend.

A wonderful book for scholars and lay-people alike.

Very thorough review of the biblical material on men, women and their roles
