The purpose of this book is to encourage and assist the members of the Orthodox Church in America to study and reflect on the issue of women and men in the Orthodox Church, and in church and society generally. The role of women in the Church is one of the burning questions of the day. How people and churches respond to this question reveals how they respond to life itself, to God and the world, and to Christ and the Church. The book has ten sections including “The Sources of Truth,” “God and Sexuality: A Theological Reflection,” “Women and Men in the Old Testament,” “Women and Men: Mary and Jesus,” “Women and Men in the Apostolic Writings,” and “Marriage and Sexual Morality in the Apostolic Writings.”
