Dethroning Male Headship: Second Edition

Dethroning Male Headship: Second Edition

The Christian community is divided over the issue of women’s equality. This is a unique time in modern history. The church is the last holdout to giving women equality, when it should have been the first to recognize women as equals. Certain religious leaders work to keep women in what they have determined is ‘women’s place.’ The result is that women across all denominations are being restricted even more to certain roles, with female submission becoming the dominant theme in marriages and in the church. This book is a call to action. It lays the biblical foundation for female equality, exposes the myth of biblical manhood and womanhood, and dives headlong into male leadership teaching. Finally, the book leads readers to understand why they must, and how they can, dethrone male headship. Shirley Taylor speaks from her 50 years experience as a Baptist. Revised and Updated, Dethroning Male Headship: Second Edition is written for both women and men of all faiths. My name is Shirley Taylor and I call myself the street evangelist for women's equality. One day I went to an office to do business. I had been there before and I had talked about women's equality with the manager. Later I was back and we talked about women's equality again. I gave her my card which says "Shirley Taylor, street evangelist." She said, "You need to meet my cousin. She has a Street Evangelist ministry in Houston where she feeds the homeless." I told her that God has called people to minister to the homeless, but that I am not one of those people. I leaned over to her and put my hands on her hands and looked into her face. I said, "My ministry is not to the homeless, it is to people like you. In offices, at the grocery story, the library, while buying a blouse at J C Penneys. Wherever I am, I give the message of women's equality."
