By: Madeline Steele Johnston | April 30, 1999

From My Point of View: Men’s Psychological Barriers to Adopting an Egalitarian View
By: Chuck Romig | January 30, 1997
I have been told on a number of occasions that men who adhere to an egalitarian view of the marital relationship and who see no ministry restrictions for women in the church approach the Bible from some personal bias that keeps them from seeing the truth. What usually follows in the conversation (lecture) is armchair [...]
