Women in Ministry
BW3 on Why Arguments against Women in Ministry Aren’t Biblical:
Never mind that the Bible does not have categories like ‘senior pastor’ or ‘pulpit minister’, the NT has been used over and over again to justify the suppression of women in ministry— and as I was to discover through years of research and study, without Biblical justification. Now of course equally sincere Christians may disagree on this matter, but the disagreements should be on the basis of sound exegesis of Biblical texts, not emotions, rhetoric, mere church polity, dubious hermeneutics and the like.

John Stackhouse has a book called Finally Feminist affirming both the patriarchal and feminist views based on evangelical perspectives.
Holding opposing arguments in dialectical tension is his strength. This book is worthy to check out for those who are interested in this topic.
