A hot topic within Christian circles today. This book is well worth reading. Clear teaching and insights into the scriptures, traditions, culture.....very helpful.
Format:Paperback
This certainly gets you thinking and re-appraising how you see this whole subject. Well researched and documented, with a level of reasoning that is hard to criticise. I think it would be difficult for anyone with a truly open mind to continue to cling to the cherished sacred cow of Christian "headship" after having read this.
An unqualified thumbs up....get it and get prepared for a challenge!

AN INTELLIGENT, BALANCED LOOK AT SCRIPTURE VS. TRADITION
24 April 1999
By Rebecca Anderson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Mr. Trombley gives a thorough examination of the commonly quoted teachings that keep women out of ministry positions. The references to historical church and Talmudic documents as well as current writing on the subject are presented clearly. It would be difficult to view Paul or God as misogynists or to view women as inferior beings created for the purpose of submission after reading this book. The conclusion is reached gently, after looking into the question deeply. It has been of tremendous value to me as a woman, answering many of the nagging questions I've had for years, in which my relationship with God didn't match what I learned about women in the church.

One of the best books I've ever read
15 Sep 2000
By Bo Axelsen
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
And definitely the best book I've read on 'women and ministry'. My wife and I especially like the chapters about the judaistic traditions, and the chapters about the male-headship-problem. Well, the whole book is extremely relevant and well written. It seems to me that Trombley is a very thorough and skilled scholar. I recommend this book. Especially to men. We have so much to learn. Why are so few Christian people (men!) aware of the truths presented in this book? I can only recommend that you buy the book for you, your friends and your pastors.

Required pre-marriage reading
27 May 2009
By Anne M. Galivan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I agree with the other reviewers' comments on this website. I have one thing to add if you are a Christian parent. Do not let your daughter marry anyone until her prospective husband has read this book! And make sure your sons read it before THEY get married. The institutional church is so steeped in the traditions of men that most Christians don't even see it. As one other reviewer said, "I knew that the revelations in this book were true, in my heart and my spirit I knew it, but this book gives a well-referenced why." Your children's marriages will go a lot easier if the husband and wife understand that they are on equal footing in every way, that God never intended for the husband to be "over" his wife. Again, this should be required reading for every Christian couple before they get married. Alas, most Christians have never even read this wonderful book that gives so much truth. Thank you, Charles Trombley!
