More than forty years after its initial publication, Man and Woman in Christ continues to be regarded by many as the most faithful and comprehensive study of biblical manhood and womanhood. Stephen B. Clark thoroughly lays out the authoritative teaching of the Old and New Testaments on the distinct roles of men and women, but he doesn’t stop there. He goes on to trace the application of Scripture’s teaching through the history of the Church, bringing it into the present day and dealing honestly with the challenges of applying God’s Word in modern society. For those seeking to live obediently as men and women made in the image of God, this book provides incomparable help. In fact, it has only become more relevant in a world which continues to bear the bitter fruit of feminism.
