Download or read book Women in Ministry and the Writings of Paul written by Karen M., Karen M Elliot, C.PP.S. and published by Anselm Academic Christian Brothers Pub.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian tradition has generally used a patriarchal lens through which to view the emerging Church, a lens that privileges male leaders while minimizing the role of bold and fervent women in proclaiming the gospel message and ministering to God's people. Author Karen M. Elliott challenges this view, providing solid evidence for women's important and vibrant role in the life of Christian communities. Particularly, she examines the writings of Paul to identify in Church history women engaged as fellow missionaries and affirmed as energetic and valuable contributors to the spread of Christianity. In her discussions on the contribution of women in Church ministry from the second century to the present, Elliott closely examines the life, times, and writings of the Apostle Paul. Elliott offers compelling insights into the person of Paul by considering his religion, philosophy, and influence, as well as his theology of baptism, in an effort to establish a Church legacy that includes a strong ministerial role for women. Through writing that is intimate and thought-provoking, Elliott produces an engaging and easy-to-read text for college students--regardless of their religious background or belief--that establishes and affirms women as ministers in the life of the Church.

Book excerpt: As a field combining two interpretive disciplines, biblical archaeology is often--and understandably-- misunderstood. So if Indiana Jones (or a televangelist, for that matter) comes to mind when thinking of biblical archaeology, think again. In Layer by Layer: A Primer on Biblical Archaeology, Ellen White effectively and engagingly dispels common myths about this field of inquiry, demonstrating the history and importance of the dialogue between biblical studies and archaeology. She does this by introducing the methodology and goals of each of these disciplines and by using case studies with real examples from both modern and biblical times. With a robust glossary, study questions, dozens of images and maps, and recommendations for additional resources, Layer by Layer lays the foundation for students both familiar and new to this field.
