For those who have an interest in the debate among evangelicals regarding the subordination of women to their husbands and male leadership in church, my article "The Metaphysics of Subordination: A Response to Rebecca Merrill Groothuis," has just been published in the Journal of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. You can read the article here:

The gist of the article is this: Groothuis argues that the common distinction made by complementarians between women being subordinate in role but equal in being/value is logically incoherent. I argue that she is mistaken, that the distinction is coherent. Unless I am mistaken, this exchange between Groothuis and myself represents the first time that more or less pure philosophy has entered into this debate.

Thanks for your article. I will read it with great interest. So much of the subordination discussion has centered on/around the Trinity and not enough philosophy has been engaged for sure.
