Author and New Testament scholar Michael Bird was formerly in favor of distinct gender roles in ministry, a viewpoint commonly called 'complementarianism.' But inconsistencies in practice and careful biblical study convinced him to rethink his position. Now in favor of full equality for men and women in ministry roles, Bird nevertheless strikes a respectful tone toward those in his previous camp, while seeking to craft a perspective that both values women and upholds biblical differences between the sexes. Humorous and hard-hitting, Bird's writing on this topic will challenge readers on both sides of the gender-issue divide. This original digital short features the following contents: Introduction 1. Fretting Over Phoebe 2. Who Is Who in the Zoo? 3. Women in Pauline Churches Conclusion Epilogue: Who the Heck Was Ilse Fredrichsdorff?
