Description

40 Questions About Women in Ministry charts a course for understanding differing views on the topic. regarding the ministries of women. The accessible question-and-answer format guides readers to specific areas of confusion, and authors helpfully zero in on the foundations of varied beliefs and practices. Edwards and Mathews cover interpretive, theological, historical, and practical matters such as:

  • What did God mean by the woman as man's "helper"?
  • How is it that Christians reach different conclusions about 1 Timothy 2:11-15?
  • How did Western culture influence the role of women in society and the church?

Combining a strong adherence to Scripture, vast academic and ministry experiences, and a commitment to Christ-honoring dialogue, 40 Questions About Women in Ministry is a valuable guide to pastors, ministry leaders, church groups, and seminarians.

"Based on extensive research, the authors present various viewpoints fairly and clearly, and offer concise explanations to equip readers to draw their own conclusions on these pressing questions."--Lynn Cohick, Provost/Dean of Academic Affairs, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
"Raise the topic of women in the church and the roles they have and you better be prepared to have your blood pressure checked along with the person you are talking to about the topic. Here is a book that calmly lays out the view's pro and con for the array of options the topic yields. It does so evenhandedly."--Darrell Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement for The Hendricks Center, Dallas Theological Seminary

Reviews

"Edwards and Mathews provide an excellent resource for readers eager to learn more about interpretations regarding women in ministry. Based on extensive research, the authors present various viewpoints fairly and clearly, and offer concise explanations to equip readers--men and women, laity, and clergy--to draw their own conclusions on these pressing questions. I commend them for including a chapter on a topic that is not debatable, namely the importance of making churches and ministries safe for women."

"What a gift Mathews and Edwards have given us in this accessible introduction to and evaluation of the two evangelical views on women and leadership in the church and home! If you care about the important contribution from this half of the body of Christ, and want to make a difference for the good of the church, this book is a great place to start."

"Raise the topic of women in the church and the roles they have and you better be prepared to have your blood pressure checked along with the person you are talking to about the topic. Here is a book that calmly lays out the view's pro and con for the array of options the topic yields. It does so evenhandedly. 40 Questions lets you hear and consider the arguments from all sides, nuances included. I can think of no other work that does this and gives you what you need to consider how to see the topic and why. This is a much-needed work that supplies the up-to-date takes on what people discuss and deliberate on when the issue of women and the church is raised. Well done."

"40 Questions about Women in Ministry provides invaluable information that enables readers to make informed conclusions about God's purpose for women in ministry. Edwards and Mathews examine an important but contentious topic with humility and thoughtfulness, all the while promoting unity. Today's church can learn much from their respectful approach."
