What does the Bible really say about men and women? What should be our beliefs and actions as Christians in India? Contributors to the Side by Side conference, which included theologians, pastors, sociologists, medical doctors, biblical scholars, historians, and mission leaders, examined such wide-ranging topics as Bible exegesis, giftedness, the meaning of mutuality, South Asian case studies, and the trinitarian nature of God. They explored the Bible texts on women and men in the context of church, home, and society in south Asia. The volume is a major contribution to the discussion on the place and work of women in relation to men. It will be a valuable additiion to  thoughtful home, active churches and busy theological libraries.
