The Daughters of Zelophehad are Right!

In 2010, Hanna Rosin wrote an article in The Atlantic:The End of Men,” outlining how times were changing. The article responded to the U.S. statistics coming out at the time:

  • 4% of managerial jobs were held by women.
  • 54% of all accountants were women.
  • 45% of law firm associates were women.

 

 

These represented huge jumps from the previous decade. This was happening, of course, because of what was going on in education. Women were then earning:

  • 42% of all MBA’s,
  • 50% of all medical and law degrees,
  • 60% of all Masters’ Degrees
  • 60% of all Bachelors’ Degrees.

 

 

Now, Rosin was puzzling how this had not created a feminist nirvana. In fact, it wasn’t faring well for women in relationships. Does the Bible have relevant message here? The sermon (04/03/2011) below says, yes. Because gender is a gift that cultivates dependence. Mentioning the Trinity for the first time as that of which we are an analogy, the message applies the text (Numbers 27:1-11, 36:1-13) to church relationships.

 

Because gender is a gift for the other gender.
