WOMEN, JESUS AND PAUL
Prophets, Apostles, Ministers

What were the biblical roles of women as disciples, ministers, apostles and prophets? How did the Old Testament figures of Miriam, Deborrah and Hulda typify women’s potential under the power of God? What was Jesus’ attitude towards women? Did it differ from Paul’s? In what ways were both Jesus and Paul affected by first century culture and practices? In what ways did they transcend their circumstances to transform the world? Were Paul’s personal friendships with and reliance upon women in his ministry in direct contradiction to his teaching about their roles? Is Mary an impossible ideal for women to follow or the perfect practical model for all believers? Did Mary’s prophetic role supersede her role as Mother in Luke? Why isn’t Mary named in John’s Gospel even though her importance is undisputed? These and other questions are answered in this tape in such a way that we become aware of our own roles in serving God and neighbor in today’s world.
