5.0 out of 5 stars Bible Says Women Should Be Pastors, January 21, 2002

By 

Diane "clemsontigers" (Farmingdale, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Spirit We're Equal: The Spirit, the Bible, and Women a Revival Perspective (Paperback)

This book corrects a male-imposed interpretation of the bible by going back to the Greek and Hebrew and re-visiting what was really being said in certain scriptures by taking into account the context of the time, number of times a word/phrase is used, etc. All done in a proper, scholarly way. You can clearly see where the English translations are a little off after reviewing the Hebrew and Greek. Women should be encouraged to pursue a pastorate with all confidence from scripture after reading this and both men and women will be able to more accurately read their bible and not mis-quote scripture out of context or meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every serious student of the Word!, August 18, 1999

By 

Connie M. Javier ([e-mail]) (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Spirit We're Equal: The Spirit, the Bible, and Women a Revival Perspective (Paperback)

Sue Hyatt's book brings up an interesting question, "how did Jesus treat women?" I especially recommend this book for those studying revival, as Sue points out, women were always at the forefront of revival. This book will help to expose any prejudice, bias or pre-conceived idea that you may have unintentionally developed during your Christian walk. It presents Biblical Truth but is very readable and will lead you to examine the Bible for yourself. Sue's book is written from a Spirit-oriented persective and will encourage all those who have a call of God in their life. It will bring healing to many who have been hurt when questioned with doubts regarding their call. Revival will require every believer to be confident that God is the one who has called them to a divine purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Work, January 12, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: In the Spirit We're Equal: The Spirit, the Bible, and Women a Revival Perspective (Paperback)

Susan Hyatt presents a very thorough work on the position of women in the church. When I pick this book up, I am immediately drawn into it. The research done is complete and very convincing.

Susan tackles this subject from many different angles, beginning with Jesus' treatment of women. Our Lord Himself was indeed a friend of women, often behaving in ways that were contrary to the traditions of His day. Following Jesus' example, the early church also embraced women as an integral part of the body of Christ, and treated them as equals.

Then she shows how the beliefs concerning women in modern Christianity evolved (they did not come from Jesus or the early church!) Furthermore there is included wonderful reports on how God has used women all throughout church history.

As a man, I would say that this is an extremely important work to read for those of us who want to be free of the insecurities which lock us into ungodly mindsets about women. Also, a good study book with interesting clips of church history.
