I have read another volume in Kregel’s “40 Questions” series: 40 Questions about Women in Ministry by Sue Edwards and Kelley Mathews。Like the other volumes in the series – the 40 questions are divided into smaller components of consideration。 Here we find:Introductory IssuesQuestions related to the Old TestamentQuestions related to the New Testament and beyondCurrent IssuesThe authors put effort into presenting both major sides of the debate: the side that says women are limited in the ministry I have read another volume in Kregel’s “40 Questions” series: 40 Questions about Women in Ministry by Sue Edwards and Kelley Mathews。Like the other volumes in the series – the 40 questions are divided into smaller components of consideration。 Here we find:Introductory IssuesQuestions related to the Old TestamentQuestions related to the New Testament and beyondCurrent IssuesThe authors put effort into presenting both major sides of the debate: the side that says women are limited in the ministry they can participate in， and the side that says there is no intrinsic limitation in the ministry women can participate in。Reflection on who the questions were answered historically and what ought to be done to protect women and not make them to be less than God’s Image-bearers – equal with men in this – are worthwhile investigations， but the primary issue is understanding what the Scripture actually says。It is rightly argued that the Scripture must be understood in context – and there may be occasions where a question is being asked where the reader only hears and answer – and so forth – possibility making understanding the text more difficult。After examining the Scripture rightly， then I would argue history comes into the discussion – not merely what was done historically， but how the texts were understood historically。This book is useful in understanding the arguments of the two major interpretations of the issue of women in ministry， which is seems to be the goal of the volume， but I would find a volume that argues one way or another – drawing conclusions from the Scripture against other views – maybe several books – to be able to better see the arguments played out。[I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review。] 。。。more

Bought this as a birthday present for myself and wasn't disappointed！ Though I've read deeply on a lot of these questions before， seeing them all in one place， and the multiple POV's， was really useful。Like the title say's， this book cover's 40 questions that the authors took from people on the internet。 They shows 2+ views on each questions and use a lot of quotes from hierarch's （mostly complementarians） and heterarch's （mostly egalitarians）。 This would be a great refresher for those who alrea Bought this as a birthday present for myself and wasn't disappointed！ Though I've read deeply on a lot of these questions before， seeing them all in one place， and the multiple POV's， was really useful。Like the title say's， this book cover's 40 questions that the authors took from people on the internet。 They shows 2+ views on each questions and use a lot of quotes from hierarch's （mostly complementarians） and heterarch's （mostly egalitarians）。 This would be a great refresher for those who already know a bit about the subject and a good introduction to those who want to learn more。One thing I loved about this book is the authors' continued exhortation to the reader to come to the questions with an open heart and use their discernment to decide what is the most biblical answer to each question no matter which side had it。 。。。more

Mathews and Edwards present and answer questions about women with a balanced sharing of viewpoints from hierarchs （those who see a hierarchy between women and men） and heterarchs （those who do not）。 Each answer is less than 10 pages with full notes and a great bibliography for further study。
