You also as living stones are built up a spiritual house an holy priesthood [1] to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ
[1] 1 Peter 2:5 calls the Church of the
Living God a Spiritual House and a Royal Priesthood. Every believer is part
of the Priesthood of Believers. With the exception of the gifts and callings, God does not separate his children into gender-based camps [the leader camp and the follower camp]. Jesus inducts every believer into
the Priesthood of Believers Revelation 1:6. These two verses, if they
stood alone [which they do not] disprove entirely the false patriarchal teachings
of complementarianism. God has called his women as well as his men to live
autonomous lives and to speak, preach, and lead authoritatively as HE wills.

What
readers are saying:
"This
book is well written, well researched, and a real eye opener."
"Andersen
is a gifted writer, and the book was easy to read even as it covers thoughtful
and sometimes technical information. I am glad I read it. I’ve read a great
deal about women in the church and home, and it is easy to think there is
nothing new to be learned or considered – but this book has a unique approach
and covers aspects overlooked by others. Everything is well documented with
footnotes in case you have questions or want sources."
"The
author is not only a gifted writer but clearly well-studied and informed."
" I
was pleased that translation bias was covered in a chapter, an issue that needs
to be addressed, and one that I find quite hard to bring up with lay people or
everyday believers who lack knowledge about Bible translation. We can trust our
Bibles, but we also need to acknowledge that certain passages are difficult to
translate and bias can come into play."
"Andersen
tackles most of the primary the teachings of complementarianism with an
impressive exegesis"
