Beginning with an examination of the form of church government practiced in the New Testament, the author shows where modern patriarchal church government has gone far astray from the Bible. Calling herself a "weak" patriarchist, she explores several possible interpretations of Paul's restrictions against women in church eldership. The book also examines flaws in the theologies of both complementarianism and egalitarianism. LOSING JESUS warns the reader about the current problems of modern patriarchy, but it resists the temptation to do away with patriarchy altogether. Instead, the author shows the reader the many different sides of the question of ordaining women elders, without making up the readers' minds for them. The book is illuminating and sometimes surprising, but it makes room for the reader's own conscience and allows readers to draw their own conclusions in this often heated controversy.
