"In an age when ideological dogmatism and sheer speculative fancy often displace sober exegesis, it is refreshing to read a book that tries to wrestle with what the text is saying without cleverly domesticating it. This substantially updated edition needs to be read by all sides in the current controversy."
D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"In an age when assertions abound concerning the meaning of this text, the contributors have not only presented the most thoroughgoing and decisive case for the traditional view of 1 Timothy 2:9-15 now available, but have also provided a handbook of solid interpretive methodology. Whether or not one agrees with their conclusions, the reader will find the issues clarified, the evidence evaluated, and the text carefully analyzed and applied. I heartily recommend this book to all who are willing to confront and be confronted by the biblical text once again."
Scott Hafemann, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"A fine collection of integrated essays addressing one of the most important issues regarding the ministry of women in the Christian church. This series of grammatical, linguistic, exegetical, hermeneutical, and theological essays is one of the most comprehensive treatments to date on the subject. The essays are not simply a rehash of old arguments. At significant points they mke an original contribution to our knowledge. Fresh research and careful analysis have been based on the wide range of extrabiblical Greek texts that are now available, along with high-speed computer searches that can be conducted."
Peter T. O'Brien, Moore Theological College
"A pivotal text behind a major problem deserves a major book. The pivotal text is 1 Timothy 2:9-15. The major problem is how men and women relate to each other in teaching and leading the Christian church. And the major book is Women in the Church. There is none more thorough or careful or balanced or biblical."
John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church
