A biblical survey of the roles of men and women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is an excellent study of the roles of men and women in Old Testament, New Testament and Inter-Testamental times. Roles covered include family life, commercial, managerial, govermental and religious. Except for the inter-testamental period, the analysis sticks strictly to the scriptures and is very objective. When the subject of religious roles is discussed, the author, who is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) denomination, is careful to define modern church offices in terms of their New Testament counterparts.Mr. Hurley is well qualified for this inquiry since he has a doctorate in Pauline Theology and also extensive experience in marraige counseling.I found the book to be very helpful as I went through the process of deciding whether ordination of women was an approved biblical practice.
