It’s not as if this topic has not been adequately debated.  Here on this site.  Cavemen appearances and all.

And it’s not like one more rousing round of smack-down style commenting will forever resolve the issue.  But it appears that there is still some desire to warm up the already-twice-eaten leftovers on the role of women in church life.

With that in mind, would you please move your conversation either here, or start your own blog and discuss till your heart’s content.  One book that has been recommended in the comments of the comic post is Rediscovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, edited by Piper and Grudem.  Believing that Biblical faithfulness is not learned in a vacuum we would also recommend Men And Women In The Church by Sarah Sumner.  We do not recommend Dorothy Patterson’s review of that book as it is a very poor review, though CBMW published it on their website.

Are there other resources you would recommend as many continue to grapple with this issue?  Feel free to list them in the comment section.
