Want to see the Bible's call for women?

Lucy Peppiatt examines the Bible's passages regarding women

You'll see a deeper understanding un-guided by male perspectives

What scripture has to say about women and what male-dominated culture has to say are not the same. Lucy Peppiatt closely examines scripture's vision for women of faith.

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.

    If you’ve ever wondered if God is male, or found the patriarchy of the OT offputting, this book is for you. Dr Peppiatt offers both readings of Genesis to explain how the bible can be read, and then shows how the two views influence how we read the rest of the bible. Easy to read as a train of thought, but peppered with short ideas and phrases perfect for your Bible journalling, you need to read this book to hear the full story of the gender debate - and the full story of the bible.
