Equal

Church Leadership & Ministry

“From God’s original intent for men and women, to Jesus’ radical shattering of the proverbial glass ceiling of first-century Middle Eastern culture, to Paul’s letters and female heroes of the early church, Katia Adams offers compelling and brilliant research on what the Bible teaches about gender equality. Far from staying in the comfort of academia, Equal is a call to action for us, the church, to come back to the front of culture shaping and relevance, leading the conversation about the Gender Divide. It offers very practical suggestions to level the playing field not only in the secular world but in pastoral leadership too. On a personal level, it expanded my biblical understanding of the matter and will direct my work towards championing gender parity in our society. I could not imagine heaven being gender biased, now I am convinced of it, thanks to Katia’s work.”
