Can She Do What He Can Do?

Everyday people are considering the roles of men and women in the home and church. Evangelical feminists consider these roles interchangeable. In this helpful book, Wayne Grudem offers fifty biblical responses to feminists’ arguments. While the Bible teaches that God values men and women equally, their roles in home and church are complementary to each other, not interchangeable. Arguing against both feminism on the left and male chauvinism on the right, this to-the-point handbook is a valuable resource.

Praise for Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth, the exhaustive volume of this work:

“No one will be able to deny the cumulative strength of the case this author makes.” — J. I. Packer

“This is the most thorough, balanced, and biblically accurate treatment of feminism and the Bible I have seen.” — Stu Weber

Story Behind the Book

“I would like to see this book as the ‘final answer’ to the question of feminism in the church today. There has been a lot of controversy and debate in the church on this subject and I have used the Bible exclusively to answer the question of feminism in the church. This book must not be portrayed as anti-women, or as putting women down in any way. This book will seek throughout to elevate and honor women, to regard them as equal in value to men yet with different God-given roles. This book fairly presents arguments and facts, leading people to conclude for themselves that evangelical feminism is clearly contrary to Scripture.” —Wayne Grudem
