The ministry of women in today's church: How does the Spirit of God restore the peace relationships of Eden? How does he equip and call women to achieve this goal? This book presents an argument explaining more complex scriptural passages such as 1 Timothy 2:12-15, 1 Corinthains 11 and 14, based on an independent analysis of the original texts. Nothing stands in the way of God's plan for the woman in marriage and the church - not in spite of the Bible, but because of it. And this plan of God is peace, shalom.

Exegetical highlights: - 1 Timothy 2:15 - "...but she shall be saved through the bearing of children." How childbirth saved women teachers.

• 1 Corinthians 11 - "...but the woman is the glory of man. (...) for man does not originate from woman, but woman from man" How Paul deals with rabbinical interpretations of the creation account in a multicultural church.
• Junia - A woman among the apostles, instead of "respected by" the apostles. An answer to Daniel B. Wallace, "Was Junia really an apostle?"
