True Complementarity:
The Way of Christ for Men and Women
“Andrew Bartlett’s 2019 book on Men and Women in Christ set a high standard in the handling of Scripture.
The ‘devastating thoroughness’ and ‘rigorous scrutiny’ which I commended then continues now in a deeper and wider study that listens to many more voices, both contemporary and historical.
There is much new material, including Chapter 31, which addresses the differences between the complementarian-mutualist debate and the debate over same-sex unions. This is required reading for anyone who assumes some easy equivalence.
I was reminded of St Paul taking every thought captive to obeying Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Andrew’s evident desire and my hope, like that of the apostle, is that this book, by taking us back to Scripture, will bring us more into conformity with Christ – not tearing down his body but building it up.“

How God Sees Women
“In this book, perhaps the best on the subject, Terran answers a crucial question of our time. He plumbs the depths of Scripture to rediscover the heights to which women were always meant to rise.”

Men and Women in Christ: Fresh Light from the Biblical Texts
“This book is rigorous, fair-minded, cautious, exegetical, analytical, logical, and dispassionately presented. I predict this will become the textbook used in colleges and seminaries that want to discuss women in ministry afresh. Every pastor, every elder board, every deacon board – anyone needing to sort through this topic must read this book.“
– Revd Canon Dr Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary, Illinois, USA
