Why not Women? – a fresh look at scripture on women in missions, ministry and leadership

Forlagets omtale:
The issue of women in missions, ministry, and leadership is dividing homes, churches, communities, even societies. The church must respond. We must respond responsibly, for we never want to find ourselves working against God's purposes, quenching His spirit at work in the lives of those He has called. We must respond carefully, since God's truth often stands in direct opposition to what the majority of people believe.Why Not Women? brings light, not just more heat, to the church's crucial debate with: -- A detailed study of women in Old Testament writings, Jesus' ministry, and the letters of the apostle Paul.-- Historical and current global perspectives.-- An exploration of the value and roles of women in ancient history and literature, Jewish rabbinic literature, the early church, current cultures, and the church today.-- An examination of the fruit of women in public ministry.-- A hard-hitting revelation of what's at stake for women, men, the Body of Christ, God's Kingdom, and the unreached.
