A fresh approach to the hot-button topic of women in ministry
Based on his study of a key word for "teaching" in the New Testament--an activity often thought to be prohibited to women--and on various other kinds of public speaking in which women in Scripture clearly participated, scholar John Dickson builds a case for women preachers.

Many Christians think of the task of mission as an entirely verbal activity, when perhaps the best kept secret of New Testament teaching about mission is that it involves a whole range of activities that explicitly promote Christ to the world and draw others to him, and only a few of them involve speaking.
