Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vital to the current debate about women and the church, this landmark book discloses clearly for the first time that women played prominent leadership roles in Jesus' own ministry and in the early church--as prophets, heads of churches, and teachers. Torjensen shows that the real reasons for women's subordination in Christianity have been social and secular and represent a betrayal of Jesus' teaching. Illustrations.
