Two Views on Women in Ministry

What does the Bible say about women's roles in the church? With pros and cons on either side of a heated, ongoing debate, no definitive conclusions have emerged. This book furnishes you with a clear and thorough presentation of the two primary views on women in ministry so you can better understand each one's strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. Each view - egalitarian (equal ministry opportunity for both genders) and complementarian (ministry roles differentiated by gender) - is represented by two contributors. This revised edition of the book brings the exchange of ideas and perspectives into the traditional "Counterpoints" format. Each author states his or her case and is then critiqued by the other contributors. The fair-minded, interactive "Counterpoints" forum allows you to compare and contrast the two different positions, and to form your own opinion concerning the practical and often deeply personal issue of women in ministry. The "Counterpoints" series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. "Counterpoints" books address two categories: Church Life and Exploring Theology.
