Women in church leadership is a controversial topic among conservative evangelicals in the United States today. This course gives you an overall, biblical framework for interpreting God’s word concerning women leading God's people. Learn seven principles for interpreting any biblical passage and how each principle sheds light on this difficult issue. You also will hear in-depth teaching on how to treat the three most challenging passages at the heart of the controversy: 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 14 and 11.
Even among evangelicals, we find an extraordinary diversity of opinion concerning women’s appropriate roles and ministries. This course helps you sort through the competing claims made by people who take a staunchly conservative position and those who take an egalitarian perspective.
