Let me preface this review – I have read and done much research on both sides of the "camp" on this issue (theology regarding women in church leadership). There are many issues of our faith on which our English Scriptures are consistently clear and easily interpreted (ex John 3:16). There are others, of which this debate is one, which are difficult to interpret and understand, and are shaded by our own cultural influences. These issues require a significant amount of study and research if we intend to be truthful and honoring to Scripture.
The first half of this book is written by Loren Cunningham (a man) who founded Youth With a Mission along with his wife Darlene. He speaks from the contemporary side of the issue, mostly his observations and thoughts over the years as the founder of a highly influential worldwide mission organization. The second half of the book is written by David Hamilton, a respected theologian, and it is here we get the hard, factual research into the languages of the Scripture and their meanings.
