Complementarian Spirituality: Reformed Women and Union with Christ

In this work, Dr. Brand contributes a unique complementarian expression of Reformed spirituality, in order to stimulate a spiritual renewal in the contemporary Reformed tradition. Using a distinctively feminine approach in an arena monopolized by male theologians, Brand anchors corporate and personal spirituality upon the unio mystica, returning to a Calvinistic appreciation of the Christian life.

Grounding Reformed spirituality on the “marital union” between Christ and the church, a corporate portrait of the church is explored. Critical of the neglect of women in Reformed church life and practice, the author calls the tradition to reform; proposing an intentional complementarian role for women that can practically and spiritually profit the whole church body. The book culminates with an initial tracing of a “Reformed feminine spirituality” which is pastorally relevant to women, and encourages a renewed experiential enjoyment of Christ for both men and women.
