How does gender breed violence, and what can we do to change this?

Lecture from 2016 international conference "Truth Be Told" in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This lecture examines the twelve pillars most often adduced as biblical support for male hierarchy in the church and in the home.

It surveys the exegetical, theological, and practical foundations for the equal standing of men and women in the church and in marriage.
