In this book, Highfield stages a discussion in which three fictitious characters explain and defend their viewpoints and critique opposing views. The three ...

What if the full inclusion of women in church leadership and the exercise of the gift of prophecy combine two vital elements for a healthy, unhindered church?

What does the Bible say about women in leadership? The articles in this book originated as Grace Communion International wrestled with this question. The early articles were designed for members. As we explored the subject, we saw that more detailed work was warranted, and in 2004, we began an exegetical study of the key passages, designed for pastors. A careful study was done in Scripture, with special attention to certain key New Testament texts. Both complementarian and egalitarian scholars sometimes push the evidence further than is warranted. With a cautious approach, we concluded that...
