Based on his study of a key word for “teaching” in the New Testament – an activity often thought to be prohibited to women – and on various other kinds of public speaking in which women in Scripture clearly participated, scholar John Dickson builds a case for women preachers.
Focused and purposefully limited in its conclusions, Dickson’s argument has potential to change minds and appeal to complementarians and egalitarians alike.
The mediating and widely adoptable position in this original short work will appeal to pastors, Bible teachers, college and seminary students, professors and lay leaders in the church with its fresh approach to the hot-button topic of women in ministry.
