About this ebook

Why did God create two sexes? Can men and women be equal and yet have different roles? 

Derived from Wayne Grudem’s perennial bestseller, Systematic Theology, this digital short summarizes the Bible’s teaching on men and women.

Complementarian in perspective, Grudem explores the dignity of men and woman as well their differences, with special attention paid to the implications of those differences for marriage. The creation of humans as male and female shows God's image in: 

  1. Harmonious personal relationships.
  2. Equality in personhood and importance. 
  3. Difference in role and authority. 

Both clarifying and challenging, Man and Woman is an accessible resource on a historic teaching of the Christian church.

Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created."¹ Although the creation of man as male and female is not the only way in which we are in the image of
