<transcy>God's Good Design (Le projet bienvaillant de Dieu pour elle et lui)</transcy>
Presentation
What is God's plan for women and for men? What does the Bible say about relationships between men and women in the Church and in marriage?
In this book, it is a woman who answers these burning questions bluntly. To achieve this, she explains all the biblical texts concerned by placing them in their original context. Courageously, she draws the concrete implications for today. But Claire Smith's approach is also very personal: she tells frankly her own journey and the unexpected evolution of her conception of women. Once a feminist convinced that nothing intended to write a book on the complementary roles of man and woman, today she celebrates, to her own surprise, God's benevolent project.
