This year I was asked to review three books on the Bible’s teaching about men and women. Unfortunately, I could not recommend any of them, as I explain in the reviews I’ve written. But they did alert me to three trends in the ongoing discussion about the relationship and roles of men and women in marriage and ministry.

How do you think about marriage and singleness? In our Christian culture, we can see marriage as the great goal in life and it becomes an idol, as opposed to the Biblical understanding of marriage.
