Subordinationism

An early Christian heresy that Jesus is eternally subordinated to God the Father. This contrasts with the traditional Christian view that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are co-eternal, interdependent, one in substance, and without any form of hierarchy, order or ranking. The heresy has been adopted by many Evangelical Christians in recent decades and used to support the belief that a woman's role is to be submissive to other males -- in particular to her husband.
