Complementarianism is a theological view held by some in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, that men and women have different but ''complementary'' roles and responsibilities in marriage, family life, religious leadership, and elsewhere. The word "complementary" and its cognates are currently used〔 to denote this view. For some Christians whose complementarian view is biblically-prescribed, these separate roles preclude women from specific functions of ministry within the Church. Complementarianism assigns primary ''leadership'' roles to men and ''support'' roles to women—based on their interpretation of certain biblical passages from a Complementarian perspective. One of its precepts is that while women may assist in the decision-making process, the ultimate authority for the decision is the purview of the male in marriage, courtship, and in the polity of churches subscribing to this view. The main contrasting viewpoints are Christian egalitarianism which maintains positions of authority and responsibility in marriage, religion, business, and elsewhere should be equally available to females as well as males, and 'male chauvinism', a generalized bias that in most situations men are of significantly greater value than women (though female and other varieties of chauvanism do exist). == Christianity == Complementarianism holds that "God has created men and women equal in their essential dignity and human personhood, but different and complementary in function with male headship in the home and in the Church." Proponents of Complementarianism generally see the Bible as the infallible word of God. The complementarian position is seen to uphold what has been the most traditional teaching〔(Historical/traditional interpretation of women speaking in the church; Commentaries )〕 on gender roles in the church. However, the terms ''traditionalist'' or ''hierarchicalist'' are usually avoided by complementarians, as the former “implies an unwillingness to let Scripture challenge traditional patterns of behavior”, while the latter “overemphasizes structured authority while giving no suggestion of equality or the beauty of mutual interdependence”. Therefore, they prefer the term complementarian, “since it suggests both equality and beneficial differences”.〔(Recovering Biblical manhood and womanhood ), p. 11, Edited by John Piper and Wayne Grudem〕 The Catholic Church advocates complementarianism with regard to the social doctrine of the Church. Catholic catechism asserts that "God gives man and woman an equal personal dignity"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Catechism of the Catholic Church ) sections 2333-2335.〕 but also that the harmony of society "depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out."〔 In contrast with adherents of Biblical patriarchy, some complementarians are open to the possibility of women assuming leadership roles in civic and commercial life. 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「Complementarianism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
