Description: What does the Bible say about women{u2019}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{u2019}s strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. Each view{u2014}egalitarian (equal ministry opportunity for both genders) and complementarian (ministry roles differentiated by gender){u2014}is represented by two contributors.
