MEN & WOMEN IN THE CHURCH: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction
Kevin DeYoung
A Biblical Primer on Men and Women in the Church
There is much at stake in God making humanity male and female. Created for one another yet distinct from each other, a man and a woman are not interchangeable—they are designed to function according to a divine fittedness. But when this design is misunderstood, ignored, or abused, there are dire consequences.
Men and women—in marriage especially, but in the rest of life as well—complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline—and the design of creation itself—depends upon the distinction between male and female. Men and Women in the Church is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church.

“This is the first book I will recommend to those who want to study what the Scriptures teach about the roles of men and women both in marriage and the church. The book is vintage DeYoung and is packed
with solid exegesis and faithful theology.” -THOMAS R. SCHREINER, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Men and Women in the Church is readable, accessible and—despite its brevity—covers all the main texts and common questions. It is an excellent introduction to the goodness of the Bible’s teaching about men and women, and about how to live faithfully today.” -CLAIRE SMITH, New Testament scholar; author, God’s Good Design: What the Bible Really Says about Men and Women
