Description: This book gives the biblical answers to some of the most complex and controversial questions on women’s ministry! Does God choose only men to lead, teach, and preach? What is God’s vision for women in ministry? What do the Bible, the Jewish Talmud and early Christian writings really mean about women in ministry. Did the Apostle Paul and the early Christians dismiss the spiritual giftings of women? Are women today defying Scripture? Was Paul wrong when he wrote in 1 Corinthians 14:34, "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak?"

Review Summary: WOW!!
Date: 2008-04-14
Details: This is an incredible book and surely one that all leaders must read! For many years I knew in my spirit that these issues addressed in the book were true I just didn't have the know how in resource materials. The issues are addressed in a readable manner and explained very much in detail.
There is a wealth of resources shared for further study. This is a high recommend on my list.
I have it listed in my bookstore on my website, Praise God!
Review Summary: One of the best books I've ever read

Details: And definitely the best book I've read on 'women and ministry'. My wife and I especially like the chapters about the judaistic traditions, and the chapters about the male-headship-problem. Well, the whole book is extremely relevant and well written. It seems to me that Trombley is a very thorough and skilled scholar. I recommend this book. Especially to men. We have so much to learn. Why are so few Christian people (men!) aware of the truths presented in this book? I can only recommend that you buy the book for you, your friends and your pastors.
Review Summary: AN INTELLIGENT, BALANCED LOOK AT SCRIPTURE VS. TRADITION

Details: Mr. Trombley gives a thorough examination of the commonly quoted teachings that keep women out of ministry positions. The references to historical church and Talmudic documents as well as current writing on the subject are presented clearly. It would be difficult to view Paul or God as misogynists or to view women as inferior beings created for the purpose of submission after reading this book. The conclusion is reached gently, after looking into the question deeply. It has been of tremendous value to me as a woman, answering many of the nagging questions I've had for years, in which my relationship with God didn't match what I learned about women in the church.
