Lee In this book, Dorothy Lee considers evidence from the New Testament and early church to show that women’s ministry is confirmed by the biblical witness. Her comprehensive exam- ination explores the roles women play in the Gospels and the Pauline corpus, with a particular focus on passages that have been used in the past to limit women’s ministry. Lee argues that women in the New Testament are not only valued as disciples but also given leadership roles, which has implications for the contemporary church. In addition, she points to evidence from early church history that reveals women’s participation in ministry and outlines key theological arguments for women as full and equal partners with men in the life of the church. The Ministry of Women in the New Testament will be a valuable resource for professors, students, and scholars of the New Testa- ment, ministry, and women’s studies. CONTENTS Introduction Dorothy A.

And I return to it personally time and again for my own refreshers.
