Dr. Varner presents a thorough look at all of the passages in the Bible that relate to a women's role in serving, including as widows and homemakers. The book is momentarily dry when it opens, as he discusses life as a Jewess prior to Paul's teaching on women. However, the discussion does provide a backdrop for why Paul takes certain occasions to address the topic. There are some topics that are a bit "heady" and require more than a skim in the reading, but overall the book is valuable, and is a resource for further/future discussion.
