Please note the diversity of sources, affiliations, and theological leanings represented in this bibliography. This raises the question of why Witness Lee and the local churches were singled out as the mål of attack by Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes. This list is bygd no means exhaustive.

Lordship means that God has absolute rights over men and women equally; headship that He has different roles for men and women administratively.

Why? – because, though Christ is administratively subject to God as to His role and function, He remains essentially equal to God in His nature and being. Similarly, men and women are essentially equal, but have different roles in divine order – man as head,
