From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership, by Preston Sprinkle

The subtitle
The subtitle is a bit much. What has everyone else been doing all this time? Dishonest searching?

Thoughts
Preston Sprinkle takes us through the Bible and looks at various passages that talk about women's roles. When he goes through the New Testament passages about women in the church, he ends up concluding that the egalitarian interpretations are more likely. I agree with him for the most part, except that he falls back on the Artemis cult interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:11-15. I don't buy it. I'm not impressed with the other interpretations either, which is why I'm reluctant to draw any conclusions from 1 Timothy 2:11-15. The textual evidence for complementarianism or egalitarianism must come from other places--and I agree with Sprinkle that the other passages make more sense in an egalitarian interpretation than in a complementarian interpretation.
