Thursday Thinking - Women in Ministry


Dr. Ben Witherington did his doctoral thesis on women in the New Testamen with C.K. Barrett at the University of Durham in England. His first three published scholarly books were on this subject. On his blog, he recently republished a post dealing with the usual objections to women in ministry. The objections, he says, come from a wide variety of church traditions.

Why Arguments Against Women in Ministry Aren't Biblical

Bible scholar Ben Witherington is Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and on the doctoral faculty at St. Andrews University in Scotland. A graduate of UNC, Chapel Hill, he went on to receive the M.Div. degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. from the University of Durham in England. He is now considered one of the top evangelical scholars in the world, and is an elected member of the prestigious SNTS, a society dedicated to New Testament studies.
