Troubling Her Jessica Faye Carter

This book is for women called to ministry, those struggling with their callings, or others who want a fuller understanding of what the Bible teaches about women in ministry. Troubling Her explores what the Scriptures teach about women and leadership in the Church. The conclusion? God calls women to fully participate in every ministry function. There are a lot of books currently available on women in ministry, but this one is different. Why? Because it does not use cultural arguments in refuting traditional interpretations of 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 14 and other verses. Instead, this book argues that understanding those verses within the entire context of the Bible leads to different interpretations. So rather than suggesting that what the Bible teaches is untrue (or only true for certain time periods) Troubling Her argues that the view of God has always been the same--that women are called to lead--and viewing the Bible in its entire context reveals this truth.
