Abstrakt

This dissertation is an evaluation of the theological premise that, while maintaining equality of essence, the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father and women are permanently subordinate to men in function. In this paper the author makes the case that equality of essence on the one hand, and permanent subordination on the other -- whether applied to the Trinity or the relationship between men and women -- is a questionable premise and is not supported logically, historically, or biblically. The author includes contemporary, historical, and biblical research regarding functional and essential equality and explores the practical implications of functional equality.
