I had several abiding questions answered by her presentation. I had long wanted to understand where hierarchialists (sp?) get their interpretation of “God’s created order” for men and women.

Her presentation set it out unambiguously; Pagan myths, Greek philosophy (Aristotle’s ladder of nature) and more recently, Freudian and Jungian philosophy.

She was speaking specifically of C.S. Lewis but his view of male hierarchy is certainly representative of mainline complementarian doctrines.

I was glad to hear from her analysis that Lewis, later in life, adopted a more egalitarian approach to the matter.

Her whole presentation has opened for me a new avenue for further study.
