Product Description

If anything can raise temperatures and stir up rage in the church, it is a conversation about women's roles. Specifically speaking, a heated debate about Paul's words regarding women being silent in the church is sure to cause hurt, harm, discord and division. Regardless of which biblical translation you read, there is no way to deny the words written in 1 Corinthians 14:34. Paul's words, written thousands of years ago, have long been used to perpetuate a patriarchal system that silences, stifles and suffocates women who sense God's call for them to preach. What if there is another way to read and understand this highly controversial text? Author Sherri L. Brown Jackson proposes that there is another way to understand this passage, if you are willing to immerse yourself into the first-century world of the text rather than view it through a twenty-first century lens.Using an exegetical approach, Jackson dives into the culture, customs and characters of 1 Corinthians 14:26-40, offering a fresh perspective that amplifies women's voices rather than diminishes them. Jackson's studied alternative to the traditional reading of the text allows women to see themselves preaching and leading as God gives them grace to do.
