Many have argued that if the Word of God is to be followed, the office of elder, pastor, teacher, and bishop should be restricted to men. In this video lecture, Dr. Sandra Richter makes a compelling case for the inclusion of women in all levels of ministry, all the while affirming the highest view of scriptural authority. Richter systematically interprets the biblical texts to demonstrate how historical background and sound exegesis reveals a different picture than is often claimed by those limiting pastoral roles to men.
