In 1977, he argued in a book about gender roles that the role relationship of men and women is theologically analogous to the subordination of the
Son to the
Father in the Trinity.[5] Australian theologian
Kevin Giles has more recently responded that
complementarians have "reinvented" the doctrine of the
Trinity to support their views of men and women, suggesting that some complementarians have adopted a heretical view of the Trinity similar to
Arianism.[6] Knight released a response to "evangelical feminists" in a 2009 book.[7] Knight's contributions to the
complementarian view of the role relationship of men and women, and especially as it is applied to the issue of the
ordination of women to the ministry, have greatly influenced the founding of the
Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, where he served for many years as a council member.
