Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) is an evangelical Christian organization promoting a complementarian view of gender issues.

"[4] CBMW's current president is Dr. Denny Burk,[5] a professor of biblical studies at Boyce College and director for The Center for Gospel and Culture at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Edited by Piper and Grudem, this book included contributions by D. A. Carson, John Frame, Vern Poythress, Douglas J. Moo, Paige Patterson, Elisabeth Elliot, and several other writers.

"[25] Seth Dowland suggests that the authors of the statement "framed their position as a clear and accessible reading of Scripture.

One result of the meeting was an agreement to work on a joint statement on abuse in marriage, which was drafted by the CBMW with feedback from the CBE.

CBE’s position on abuse flows directly out of our theological understanding of Scripture and what it teaches about gender and roles.

"[31] The Statement sets forth the signatories' opposition to LGBT sexuality, same-sex marriage,[8] polygamy, polyamory, adultery, and fornication.

[34] Wayne Grudem co-founded a CBMW newsletter, which became the Journal for Biblical Manhood & Womanhood,[42] published biannually.
