To do this the author considers the biblical ideal for human beings and then proceeds to offer a biblical foundation for each of the topics under discussion--identity, body image, personal relationships, marriage, church life, and language for God. Along the way she examines the cultural nature of gender roles and the ways in which they have become entangled with ecclesial expectations. This book will help women better appreciate themselves as women, gain a better understanding of their value in God's eyes, and recognize their potential for meaningful engagement in a variety of relationships and vocational callings.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Kristina LaCelle-Peterson</note> <subject> <topic>Women</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Women -- Religious aspects -- Christianity -- Biblical teaching</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">270.082</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L131-K89</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801031793</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14975/61-kqolemql-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14975/61-kqolemql-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071427.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
