Overview

In many Christian churches, women are told they can't do certain things simply because they are women. Women can't preach. Women can't teach. Women can't co-lead a family with their husbands. Women can't read Scripture out loud in church. Women can't be a ministry leader (except to children and other women). The list goes on and on. Do these restrictions make sense? And more importantly, are they biblical? In ""Why Can't Women Do That?"" Philip B. Payne and Vince Huffaker explore the concerns that many Christians have regarding the leadership of women and analyze every relevant Bible passage to show that yes, women can! This book is written to everybody in the Christian community, regardless of where they stand on the issue. It is written in an easy-to-read, casual, non-confrontational manner that is challenging and thought-provoking, but not insulting. The first part of the book discusses general principles and church traditions to support the belief that men and women should work together as equals. The second part analyzes the Bible passages, including those commonly used to prove that women shouldn't lead. Why Can't Women Do That? strips the complex theology down to its main points and presents a compelling case for the inclusion of women in a simple, straightforward style that everyone can understand. This book is perfect for individuals, small groups, pastors, and churches as they reflect on the leadership roles of women.
