Wayne House has written an excellent book taking the conservative approach to the involvement of women in Christian ministry. Of the books that I have read on the subject this is easily the best. House is a clear analytical thinker who writes well, and thoroughly covers his subject. The book examines the role of women in history, both secular and ecclesiastical; lays out the battle lines that have formed in today’s church; and effectively deals with the key New Testament passages on the subject (I Cor 11:1-16; 14:33-36; I Tim 2:8-15 and Gal 3:28). In addition he offers hundred of footnotes for the student who wants to dig a little deeper. My only criticism is that he danced around the “head covering” issue of I Cor 11.
