Summary
IVP Readers' Choice Award
Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church?
The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray, Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex.
Those who see the overturning of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are truly rediscovering an ancient message-a message distorted by those who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.

Revelations of women in Ephesus
Every church pastor/ leader should read this book. Great research work with useful information for explaining tricky bible verses with regards women.

Best book on the topic
I’m a pastor, I was a complementarian. In 2019 I “changed my mind” having read several books on both sides of the debate. I think this is probably the clearest and most helpful book so far.

wonderful book
this is a wonderful book and a long time coming. As a Christian .ale who has been uncomfortable with the Evangelical slant on many portions of scripture for most of my life, I found this book delightful.
Easy to follow in the audible version which I bought. I have also bought a paperback version for my mother who recently admitted to me the disappointment she feels over some passages in the Bible. My hope is that reading this book my mother will see that it is falsehoods which have been taught and the reality is that the Bible teaches that God made man and woman in the image of Himself. not one over the other. Both equally made in His image.
