Over the weekend I read chapter 3 of Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, Male-Female Equality and Male Headship: Genesis 1-3 by Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. In this short essay Raymond sets out to prove that both male-female equality and male headship were instituted by God at creation according to Genesis 1-3. Along the way he also critiques egalitarian interpetations of these Scriptures and attempts to combat male domination in contrast to male headship.
