Biblical patriarchy, also known as Christian patriarchy, is a set of beliefs in evangelical Christianity concerning gender relations and their manifestations in institutions including marriage, the family, and the home. It sees the father as the head of the home, responsible for the conduct of his family. Notable people associated with biblical patriarchy include Douglas Wilson,〔In his 1999 book, ''Federal Husband'' (Moscow, ID: Canon Press) Wilson argued that a husband as "federal head" assumes responsibility for his wife's spiritual condition. In a 2013 blog post, (Patriarchy, Vision Forum, and All the Rest of It ), he said, "Patriarchy simply means “father rule,” and so it follows that every biblical Christian holds to patriarchy... But there are objections, some to the substance and some to the word... There is a kind of male conceit that does not know how to submit, and a number of these people have embraced the word ''patriarchy''."〕 R. C. Sproul, Jr.,〔(Highlands Study Center Squiblog ) 〕 the Duggar family,〔.〕 and Douglas Phillips. Notable publications include ''Patriarch'' magazine and ''Above Rubies''.〔(21st Century Patriarchs )〕 The biblical patriarchy movement has been said to be "flourishing among homeschoolers". == Beliefs == The "Tenets of Biblical Patriarchy" published by Vision Forum advocates such beliefs as * God reveals Himself as masculine, not feminine. * God ordained distinct gender roles for man and woman as part of the created order. * A husband and father is the head of his household, a family leader, provider, and protector. * Male leadership in the home carries over into the church: only men are permitted to hold the ruling office in the church. A God-honoring society will likewise prefer male leadership in civil and other spheres. * Since the woman was created as a helper to her husband, as the bearer of children, and as a “keeper at home”, the God-ordained and proper sphere of dominion for a wife is the household and that which is connected with the home. * God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply” still applies to married couples. * Christian parents must provide their children with a thoroughly Christian education, one that teaches the Bible and a biblical view of God and the world. * Both sons and daughters are under the command of their fathers as long as they are under his roof or otherwise the recipients of his provision and protection.〔(The Tenets of Biblical Patriarchy )〕 Michael Farris notes three examples of patriarchal teaching: that women should not vote, that higher education is not important for women, and that "unmarried adult women are subject to their fathers’ authority." According to Rachel Held Evans, the biblical patriarchy movement is "committed to preserving as much of the patriarchal structure of Old Testament law as possible."〔Rachel Held Evans, (A Year of Biblical Womanhood: How a Liberated Woman Found Herself Sitting on Her Roof, Covering Her Head, and Calling Her Husband "Master" ), p. 51.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biblical patriarchy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
