Women in Ministry

In "I'm No Expert, But: Women in Ministry," journalist Jim Stovall delves into the historical complexities surrounding the role of women in early Christianity. Drawing from ancient texts and scholarly interpretations, he reveals that women were recognized as deacons, apostles, and teachers before gender restrictions took hold, influenced by cultural contexts rather than purely theological ones. This exploration highlights the ongoing debate about women's roles in the church and encourages readers to engage with the topic more thoughtfully and informedly. With an accessible and curious approach, Stovall invites all who are interested in this longstanding discussion.
