The Fall of Patriarchy<\/h3>\n

The Fall of Patriarchy: It\u2019s Broken Legacy Judged by Jesus & the Apostolic House Church Communities<\/strong><\/em> is the first and only analysis by an evangelical author on the neglected and misunderstood theme of patriarchy\u2013viewed from its historical, sociological, and cultural realities in view of the biblical data on gender equality.<\/p>\n

What the Book is About<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Dean Arnold (in Foreword)” job_title=”Professor of Anthropology” company_name=”Wheaton College” admin_label=”Arnold Testimonial” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Del Birkey links Evangelical and Roman Catholic views of patriarchy, not because they are based upon the biblical text, but because they share a common Western patriarchic tradition. Through careful exegesis and close examination of early church history, he argues that, in effect, both . . . have read their own culture into the biblical text . . . . This book is a wonderful example how in our devotion to the Bible, we apply it uncritically to the modern world . . . with a cultural agenda that has been influenced by more than 3,000 years of tradition.<\/em>

What Some Say<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian” company_name=”Wheaton College” admin_label=”Bilezikian Testimonial” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Discriminatory practices that impair community life among Christians are frequently denounced by authors in quest of biblical equality. This book takes the thoughtful reader a step further. It identifies the root cause of such practices as the systemic curse of the patriarchal rule that resulted from the Fall.<\/em>
\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Dr. Alan Johnson” company_name=”Wheaton College” admin_label=”Johnson Testimonial” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]I warmly recommend this book to all concerned to understand what patriarchy is and how it may express itself harmfully in the modern Christian family and church.<\/em>
