*Fragmentation and Redemption* is first of all about bodies and the relationship of part to whole in the high Middle Ages, a period in which the overcoming of partition and putrefaction was the very image of paradise. It is also a study of gender, that is, a study of how sex roles and possibilities are conceptualized by both men and women, even though asymmetric power relationships and men’s greater access to knowledge have informed the cultural construction of categories such as “male” and “female,” “heretic” and “saint.” Finally, these essays are about the creativity of women’s voices and women’s bodies. Bynum discusses how some women manipulated the dominant tradition to free themselves from the burden of fertility, yet made female fertility a powerful symbol; how some used Christian dichotomies of male / female and powerful / weak to facilitate their own imitatio Christi, yet undercut these dichotomies by subsuming them into *humanitas*. Medieval women spoke little of inequality and little of gender, yet there is a profound connection between their symbols and communities and the twentieth-century determination to speak of gender and “study women.” (Source: [Princeton University Press](https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780942299625/fragmentation-and-redemption))

This book is a biblical primer on men and women in the church. There is much at stake in God making humanity male and female. Created for one another yet distinct from each other, a man and a woman are not interchangeable; they are designed to function according to a divine fittedness. But when this design is misunderstood, ignored, or abused, there are dire consequences. Men and women -- in marriage especially, but in the rest of life as well -- complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline -- and the design of creation itself -- depends upon the distinction between male and female. Men and Women in the Church is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church. - Publisher.
