The Grand Design
Male and Female He Made Them
Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock
What is biblical complementarity?
The Bible’s vision for sexuality and gender.
Clear, accessible and challenging.
The world has gone gray–fuzzy, blurry, gender–neutral gray. In a secularist culture, many people today are confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. Even the church struggles to understand the meaning of manhood and womanhood. In The Grand Design, Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock clear away the confusion and open up the Scriptures. They show that the gospel frees us to behold the unity and distinctiveness of the sexes. In Christ, we have a script for our lives. Doxology, we discover, is in the details.

Strachan and Peacock don't simply defend a view of men and women that is traditional but now counter-cultural. They show it is beautiful.
