What are the real issues in this controversy?
How can we make sense out of key passages in 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians and 1 Timothy?

Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested.

Those who s...
