Why would God give women the same Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, Creation Dominion Mandate and Great Commission as men-then restrict their use? This book exposes translation and interpretation inconsistencies, deceptions, and traditions, providing answers to many questions about how Jesus would have members of his body operate in partnership, not hierarchy. While the canon is complete and the Bible is inerrant in its original languages, some who most loudly proclaim this truth have not been completely trustworthy on the gender issue. This book is a scholarly yet accessible explanation of passages that have been used to prohibit women and explanation of often overlooked, empowering passages that reveal God's heart. Easy reference sidebars highlight the issues.

Kaiser, Lydia Grace: - With four decades of ministry experience and rigorous biblical scholarship, Lydia Grace Kaiser brings deep insight to one of the church's most confusing issues. Raised by a pastor and educated at a Christian college, she spent many years believing in restrictions on women. Finally, she studied the non-restrictive view and found it supported by stronger scholarly evidence--a discovery that led her to seminary to acquire more resources for research. Why is the English "plain reading" of certain passages so distorted and misunderstood? Her study uncovered numerous misleading tactics used to protect traditional power. She writes not as an outsider critiquing the church, but as an insider who deeply loves Jesus, Scripture, the church, and passionately pursues truth.
