Description:

The main task in Gender and Ministry in Early Christianity and the Church Today is to discover to what degree Paul and the early church accepted the ministry of women. Ultimately, the book argues that the presentation of the Christian God as interested in gender and ministry is a standard case of anthropomorphism.
