Abstract

This chapter explores the often-controversial topic of submission as it relates to the popular theory of servant leadership. Since the Christian Scriptures provide a level field for men and women regarding salvation, it is important to engage and challenge theoretical assumptions continually, especially when discussing words like “submit,” “servant,” and “slave.” This chapter considers the impact of these words on women and women of color through an exegetical analysis of Ephesians 5:22 and various New Testament texts.
