Synopsis
Description: At the center of Christianity is Jesus of Nazareth--whose maleness is used by many to justify the subordination of women and to emphasize that men, rather than women, better represent Jesus. This raises a number of questions that are the subject of this book. What is the significance of Jesus' maleness? Does it reveal the character of God? Is it foundational for the gospel? Is Jesus' maleness associated with an ongoing created order of male priority? Our answers will affect Christianity's task of love, justice, and reconciliation in a world that is characterized by the global marginalization, oppression, and abuse of women. Endorsements: Questions concerning the maleness of Jesus and the implications of this for women have been the subject of interesting theological conversation. Is Jesus' male personhood central to his meaning as the Christ or not? In this welcome volume Neil Williams provides a thorough discussion of this significant theological question and carefully draws out its implications for the church and the world demonstrating that the advent of Jesus is good news for all people. John R. Franke Clemens Professor of Missional Theology, Biblical Seminary, Hatfield, PA This book is highly informative--but even more so--a mind opener. You will surely have to stretch your mind, whatever your present views are. Williams deals with the vast field of the problem in a very responsible and innovative way. Adrio K nig Head of Department of Systematic Theology and Theological Ethics (retired) University of South Africa In this provocative and carefully nuanced book, Neil Williams tackles one of the most controversial issues among conservative Christians. His exploration of the theoretical and practical relevance of the maleness of Jesus balances serious theological analysis with a sensitivity to the pastoral challenges that surround this debate. Williams shows the similarities between the hermeneutical trajectory that characterizes arguments on this topic and other biblical themes, such as slavery and the Sabbath. Moreover, his attention to the larger matrix of theological issues--including the Incarnation and the Trinity--makes an important contribution that ought to be appreciated by all of those involved in this ongoing evangelical dialogue. F. LeRon Shults Professor of Theology and Philosophy, University of Agder, Norway At first glance, it might seem that the question of the necessity of the maleness of Christ to the incarnation is an abstract theological issue. Williams shows just how important the issue is, not just for our understanding of redemption but also for our understanding of gender relationships. His book not only deftly addresses the question of Jesus' gender, but is a model for how to think through important theological and ethical issues with intelligence and civility. Tremper Longman III Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College This is a breathtaking book. Williams offers not only an invaluable excursus on the Sonship of Jesus and its implications for gender, role differentiation, marriage, and patriarchy, but it also offers a way of doing theology that invites many disparate voices and theological debates to the table. And rather than increasing cacophony, Williams judiciously draws out the competing views of each voice/view to a stunning symphonic shalom. For some, this work will be spurned as an accommodation to culture's shifting sands--but if so, Williams counters with a steady and gracious critique of all positions, including his own. There is no one path that is problem free. The way forward in this conversation on gender is with the kind of scholarship, wisdom, and grace offered by this courageous labor. Dan B. Allender, Ph.D. Professor of Counseling Psychology and Founding President, Mars Hill Graduate School Author, Sabbath and The Wounded Heart Williams combines uncommon common-sense and interdisciplinary synthesis to address a perennial c, At the center of Christianity is Jesus of Nazareth--whose maleness is used by many to justify the subordination of women and to emphasize that men, rather than women, better represent Jesus.
