Most women in the church don't aspire to "lord it" over men, nor
do they want to scramble for position. Instead, they want to be
accepted as full participants in God's work, sharing in kingdom
tasks in ways that use their gifts appropriately.

host, and professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Alice
Mathews surveys the roles women have played in the Bible and
throughout church history, demonstrating both the inspiring
contributions of women and the many hurdles that have been placed
in their path. Along the way, she investigates the difficult
passages often used to preclude women from certain areas of
service, pointing to better and more faithful understandings of
those verses.

Encouraging and hopeful, Mathews aims for an "egalitarian
complementarity" in which men and women use all of their gifts in
the church together, in partnership, for the glory of God.
