IVP Readers' Choice Award Does God call women to serve as equal
partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? The answer to
this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray,
Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and
Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt
considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1
Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God
releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry,
leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and
gifting, rather than biological sex. Those who see the overturning
of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are
truly rediscovering an ancient message-a message distorted by those
who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw
reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.
