Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism (or RBMW) is a collection of articles on gender roles, written from an evangelical perspective, and edited by John Piper and Wayne Grudem. Crossway Books published the book in 1991 for the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW). CBMW, an international interdenominational evangelical Christian organisation, has a board and staff committed to a view of gender roles they dub complementarian.[1] Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood won Christianity Today's Book of the Year award in 1992.[2]

  1. ^ "If one word must be used to describe our position we prefer the term complementarian, since it suggests both equality and beneficial differences between men and women. We are uncomfortable with the term 'traditionalist' because it implies an unwillingness to let Scripture challenge traditional patterns of behaviour, and we certainly reject the term 'hierarchicalist' because it overemphasizes structured authority while giving no suggestion of equality or the beauty of mutual interdependence." Piper and Grudem, "Preface", in RBMW (1991): xiv.
