Balanced Interaction reveals the options
This is an excellent introduction to the theological question of a woman's role in the church. This unique book allows evangelical Christian authors, each of whom grounds their opinion in Biblical text, to speak for their position. It presents selections from the spectrum of opinions. This unusual feature allows the reader to evaluate the Biblical options for themselves. While no conclusion can ultimately be reached from this book alone, it permits one to begin to address the question in a Biblical manner.

Balanced and Fair
No matter what your view is on this subject, you will enjoy seeing this issue from all sides. Each of the four commonly held views of women in ministry are represented, from very conservative to very egalitarian. The facts are laid out for each view, and then other scholars react and respond to each view. It works and is easy reading. This book provides valuable insight on this topic and is worth reading. B

4 views of egalitarianism to some degree
This is a Good Book but it is basically from a functionally egalitarian perspective. Even the complementarians are not truely complementarians..courage and a strong biblical stance seems to be lacking in this treatment of such a vital issue.

I liked the book for what it is-which is a book in favor of some degree of egalitarianism. I found the book helpful in seeing the progression of error in relation to the issue of "Women in Minsitry" but I would not suggest this book for someone who thinks that they are going to get a true picture of biblical complementarianism even though there are several sound principles that can be gleaned from the text by a discerning reader.
