What is God’s good design for men and women, and why does it matter today? Complementarianism is a new label for the historic, orthodox teaching that men and women are created by God with equal value yet different roles.

In this accessible book, Josh Blount engages current debates surrounding masculinity and femininity, setting forth a compelling vision of manhood and womanhood that is rooted in the biblical storyline and practically applied to our lives.

Written with clarity, insight, and a pastoral heart, Complementarianism: The Glory of God’s Created Design is a sure guide in a confusing age.


“Amidst the current confusion over gender issues and the related debates regarding complementarianism, what gets lost is the stunning beauty of God’s created design for men and women. Through the lens of Scripture, Josh Blount skillfully captures that beauty by portraying a biblical vision for men and women lived out in appropriate complementarian roles in the home and the church for the flourishing of all people and the glory of God. If you are confused about gender issues, or if you have lingering questions regarding complementarianism theologically and practically, Josh’s book will provide the clarity you seek. This book is a ‘go to’ resource for every Sovereign Grace pastor and church member.” – Mark Prater (Executive Director, Sovereign Grace Churches)

“‘Complementarianism’ may seem like a complicated word, but behind its many syllables lies a simple and biblical concept. With grace and wisdom, Josh Blount casts a biblical vision of God’s intentions for men and women in the family and the church and provides much-needed guidance for how to bear fruit, find joy, and experience peace by living in accord with God’s good design. We look forward to using this book to equip our students!” – Steve Whitacre (President, Trinity College; Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville) and Nicole Whitacre (Wife, Mother, Author, Teacher)
