Balanced and Fair

No matter what your view is on this subject, you will enjoy seeing this issue from all sides. Each of the four commonly held views of women in ministry are represented, from very conservative to very egalitarian. The facts are laid out for each view, and then other scholars react and respond to each view. It works and is easy reading. This book provides valuable insight on this topic and is worth reading.

Balanced Interaction reveals the options

This is an excellent introduction to the theological question of a woman's role in the church. This unique book allows evangelical Christian authors, each of whom grounds their opinion in Biblical text, to speak for their position. It presents selections from the spectrum of opinions. This unusual feature allows the reader to evaluate the Biblical options for themselves. While no conclusion can ultimately be reached from this book alone, it permits one to begin to address the question in a Biblical manner.
