The Rarest Fruits are the Sweetest,
By ASB (Teachey, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women in the Church: A Fresh Analysis of I Timothy 2:9-15 (Paperback)
Rarely does a book earn the status of the definitive work on any subject as quickly as "Women in the Church." Heralded by scholars and theologians like D.A. Carson, Scott Hafemann, Peter T. O'Brien and John Piper. The design of this book is to walk a reader through all the various hermeneutical and exegetical stages in interpreting any text of Scripture. The reader is expertly guided through stages like historical research, genre analysis, word study, syntactical analysis, etc. . . The real challenged posed by this book is not ideological but exegetical. You may not like the conclusions of the contributors, but their conclusions result from careful, detailed, and sound exegesis. This book is the standard exegetical work on 1 Timothy 2:9-15 and has yet to meet any serious rival. In fact, because of its enduring contribution a revised second edition is slated for publication.

Drop your biases and examine the text,

This review is from: Women in the Church: A Fresh Analysis of I Timothy 2:9-15 (Paperback)
That basically sums it up for the approach taken by Kostenberger, et. al., in this book. Most interesting is the survey across secular literature regarding the NT hapax /authentew/ (pardon the transliteration). The arguments and conclusions are not based on emotional appeal but rather on cold, hard examination of the text of the original. Several chapters by several authors examine different aspects of a complete interpretation of this troubling yet frequently written about text. No matter what you think about the issue of women in the leadership of the church, Kostenberger et. al. demand your attention -- and you'll be glad you gave it. This book helps immensely in seperating the wheat from the chaff when examining this particular issue.

Must buy for those seeking truth,
By David Croteau (Mill Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women in the Church: A Fresh Analysis of I Timothy 2:9-15 (Paperback)
The editors of this book did an outstanding job of compiling authors of the highest caliber and those who would take the exegetical task seriously. This book offers the serious reader an opportunity to see the gold availabe in 1 Timothy 2. If anyone is willing to push aside their emotions and ready to see what scripture has to say regarding women's role in the church, this book will give you an historic, but exciting new look at 1 Timothy 2.
