In Gender Roles and the People of God, 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 examines the difficult passages often used to preclude women from certain areas of service, pointing to other faithful understandings of those verses. From back cover.
