This book gives the biblical answers to some of the most complex and controversial questions on women’s ministry! Does God choose only men to lead, teach, and preach? What is God’s vision for women in ministry? What do the Bible, the Jewish Talmud and early Christian writings really mean about women in ministry. Did the Apostle Paul and the early Christians dismiss the spiritual giftings of women? Are women today defying Scripture? Was Paul wrong when he wrote in 1 Corinthians 14:34, "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak?"

AN INTELLIGENT, BALANCED LOOK AT SCRIPTURE VS. TRADITION,
By
This review is from: Who Said Women Can't Teach? (Paperback)
Mr. Trombley gives a thorough examination of the commonly quoted teachings that keep women out of ministry positions. The references to historical church and Talmudic documents as well as current writing on the subject are presented clearly. It would be difficult to view Paul or God as misogynists or to view women as inferior beings created for the purpose of submission after reading this book. The conclusion is reached gently, after looking into the question deeply. It has been of tremendous value to me as a woman, answering many of the nagging questions I've had for years, in which my relationship with God didn't match what I learned about women in the church.

One of the best books I've ever read,
By Bo Axelsen (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who Said Women Can't Teach? (Paperback)
And definitely the best book I've read on 'women and ministry'. My wife and I especially like the chapters about the judaistic traditions, and the chapters about the male-headship-problem. Well, the whole book is extremely relevant and well written. It seems to me that Trombley is a very thorough and skilled scholar. I recommend this book. Especially to men. We have so much to learn. Why are so few Christian people (men!) aware of the truths presented in this book? I can only recommend that you buy the book for you, your friends and your pastors.

Required pre-marriage reading,
By
This review is from: Who Said Women Can't Teach? (Paperback)
I agree with the other reviewers' comments on this website. I have one thing to add if you are a Christian parent. Do not let your daughter marry anyone until her prospective husband has read this book! And make sure your sons read it before THEY get married. The institutional church is so steeped in the traditions of men that most Christians don't even see it. As one other reviewer said, "I knew that the revelations in this book were true, in my heart and my spirit I knew it, but this book gives a well-referenced why." Your children's marriages will go a lot easier if the husband and wife understand that they are on equal footing in every way, that God never intended for the husband to be "over" his wife. Again, this should be required reading for every Christian couple before they get married. Alas, most Christians have never even read this wonderful book that gives so much truth. Thank you, Charles Trombley!
