I was looking to confirm certain doctrinal view of Kathy Keller. Gender roles.
She wrote a book "Jesus, Justice, & Gender Roles: A Case for Gender Roles in Ministry".
I followed Tim Keller's method of reading reviews instead of the book itself.
One particular review, though from an egalitarian, appears to be quite honest, caught my attention.
The main error the reviewer Marg Mowczko made was that she believes that egalitarian and biblical centeredness can go hand in hand. First, I would clarify that defending injustice to women or upholding a woman's right do not necessarily have anything to do with egalitarian. Egalitarian, by definition is to disregard any differences between women and men. If I were to explain this to a kid, I would say that the egalitarians cannot tell the difference between women and men in general. Yes, very stereo-typical, but that is the definition. Just because one who eats only beef as meat and claims to be vegetarian, does not make one a vegetarian. In that case, the definition of vegetarian for that person has been corrupted. And if everyone redefines vegetarian as such, then they have redefined it obtusely.
So, if I support women's right, I do not identify myself with egalitarianism. Because they do not truly follow the Bible, even though some of them claim to do so. Back to the vegetarian dilemma again.
On 2 Timothy 2:12, the reviewer merely stated that it was hard for her to understand or interpret and implied that no one has an answer for it and those who does are wrong. A signature pride of the egalitarians.
Now, back to Kathy Keller. I was curious because I had some hint of feminism from Kathy Keller. Therefore, I am glad to have read this review on her book because the reviewer honestly declared Keller as being vague.
Conclusion, I would not fully associate Kathy Keller to feminism. But merely confused, based on her interpretation of those gender verses in her book. I need not read her book, I trust this reviewer in this case. For now.
