A Biblical Argument for Women in Ministry and Leadership

Rate this book
There is this rumor going around that the idea of women in ministry and leadership isn't biblical. Quite to the contrary, women play all the same roles in Scripture as men save one - and Jesus is the only one who has truly fulfilled that one.

Join me on a whirlwind tour through Scripture as we meet Deborah the judge, prophetess, and supreme leader of Israel. We'll meet Huldah, whom the high priest needed to sort out Scripture for him. We'll meet Priscilla who discipled Apollos, Junia the apostle of Jesus, and Phoebe the deacon of the church at Cenchrea.

We'll also learn that Paul, far from being a woman hater, had women co-minister with him throughout his ministry. In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep-a mentioning 1 Timothy 2:12. I do not-a think it means what you think it means."

Great resource for questions and answers. Mostly non bias minus the very ending of it. Highly researched and thorough.

Good short outline of the argument for women in ministry. Casual in tone. Best when it sticks close to scripture.

It’s a decent introductory book to the discussion. I agree with his conclusion but his writing style is steeped in bias which makes it likely unhelpful to any who’d disagree. I feel it reads more like an extended blog post than an full fledged biblical argument.
