Those supporting more open roles say the crux is not biblical authority but biblical interpretation and application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the real issues in this controversy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can we make sense out of key passages in 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians and 1 Timothy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can legitimate change be encouraged in the church?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can we keep in mind that the decisions we reach affect living, breathing human beings?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twenty-six evangelical leaders represented here, all participants in the Evangelical Colloquium on Women and the Bible, ask the hard questions about women's roles. Not all of them agree on everything. But they do agree that we must begin with the question, \"What does the Bible teach?\" They also agree that too often poor exegesis has been used to advocate positions on either side. Here support for women's ministry allies itself with scholarly rigor in the effort to break new ground.Essential reading for all concerned about women in the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlvera Mickelsen has taught at Wheaton College and Bethel College, and has served as editor for Christian Life Magazine, The Conservative Baptist and David C.
