A Biblical Argument for Women in Ministry and Leadership

De: Ken Schenck

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

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."

Cogent, concise, and faithful to Scripture

Ken Schenck packs both scholarship and heart into this very helpful (and short) read! A Bible and theology scholar whom I and many in the Wesleyan tradition have long trusted, he has once again addressed important matters in a careful, helpful, and accessible way. Section B on blaspheming the Holy Spirit was mind blowing, wrapping words around what I have felt but not been quite able to define. Thank you so much!

very persuasive

I loved the research of the scripture and culture of the time period. All men need to read or listen to this book. Women need to listen and read this book to be affirmed in their calling.
