Wayne A. Grudem (born 1948) is a New Testament scholar turned theologian,[1] seminary professor, and author.[2] Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary, Phoenix, Arizona.
On July 28, 2016, Grudem published an opinion piece on Townhall called "Why Voting for Donald Trump Is a Morally Good Choice".[6] On October 9, the piece was retracted and replaced with one entitled "Trump's Moral Character and the Election".[7] On October 19, the original piece was reinstated and another piece was published, entitled "If You Don't Like Either Candidate, Then Vote for Trump's Policies".[8][9] Grudem endorsed Trump for re-election in 2020.[10]
Grudem and Bruce A. Ware were at the center of Trinitarian debate in 2016 that began online[13] and culminated in print publications.[14][15] Both Grudem and Ware subscribe to a view of the Trinity called "eternal relations of submission and authority" or "eternal functional subordination" which claims that the Son is eternally submissive to the Father.[16] Their view was challenged by some scholars that the Son only submits to the Father in the incarnation according to his human nature.[17][18]
In 1985, Grudem authored a study of over 2000 ancient Greek references to κεφαλή (head), arguing that none of the metaphoric uses carry the meaning of 'source', as recent authors had argued.[19]
All of Grudem's research on gender-related issues is now contained in his major 2012 reference work, Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth: An Analysis of More Than One Hundred Disputed Questions.[20]
Grudem's understanding is that Bible advocates for gender roles, where men and women are equal in nature and dignity but operate within a hierarchy in which the husband is the head of the wife.
