This book is a significant contribution to the debate about the role of women in the church within the broadly evangelical world.
Andrew Bartlett’s long career as a lawyer and his work as an international arbitrator in the commercial world give him strong credentials. He says that he began without any idea whether he would end up sympathetic to the egalitarian or the complementarian position. He claims he is merely following the evidence and implies he is weighing everything objectively with a legally trained and judicially experienced mind.
