When first studying egalitarian theology (or theologies more accurately), many women have told me they’ve been afraid. Fear lurked in their hearts - that they were not being faithful Christians, that they were doubting the accuracy of Scripture. They feared other people’s words, and that God would be mad at them for not taking God’s Word seriously. They had been so conditioned that anything outside of “complementarian” arguments was theologically suspect that they worried they were diverging from their faith by simply trying to learn another perspective.
