This post is part of a larger series of posts by Dwayne Forehand and Mark Tubbs on the book Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (RBMW). The entire book is available online for free here or buy it on Amazon. For a complete list of posts in this series Click here for the series index.

The second chapter of RBMW is in a question and answer format covering the most common objections of the complementarian position. The danger of a Q&A section such as this one is that the answerer is also playing the role of questioner, which can of course lead to the most diffcult questions being made, shall we say, easier, or for that matter left out completely. I am happy to report that in my opinion the authors of this section, John Piper and Wayne Grudem, pose all of the toughest questions, sharp edges intact, and provide serious, though concise, responses to them.
