Modern Complementarianism sometimes emphasizes more the great viability of female ministry than historical view expressions of the doctrine of male headship. In contrast to Complementarianism is the more modern position termed "Christian" [[Egalitarianism]], which, among other things, seeks to use the essential spiritual equality which all believers enjoy (Gal. 3:28) to negate positional/functional distinctions between men and women. While some egalitarians profess to hold the Bible as the wholly inspired word of God, they tend to rely on a much less literal approach in interpreting key verses. Primary arguments typically used by egalitarianism are also used by many pro[[homosexual]] polemicists in regards to [[homosexuality and biblical interpretation]], though more conservative egalitarians reject <ref>[[homosexuality]].
