complementarianism

Here's our theological word of the day ...

Complementarianism

Theological position held by many Christians believing the Bible teaches that men and women are of equal worth, dignity, and responsibility before God (ontological equality), but that men and women have different roles to play in society, the family, and the church (relational distinct roles). For the complementarian, these roles do not compete but complement each other. Prominent modern complementarian are Tomas Schreiner, Wayne Grudem, and John Piper.
