Present-day Evangelicalism represents a microcosm of broader tensions over male and female gender roles, with some denominations carefully delimiting women leadership roles, especially the female pastor, and many others supporting them. The letters attributed to Paul the Apostle contain several divisive passages on the meaning of manhood and womanhood. Dated and dubious readings of these have led some, Christians and non-Christians alike, to conclude that Paul wrote with misogynistic intent. Others quote them to justify Christian patriarchalism. Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock: Reimagining Paul’s Views on Women, Marriage, and Ministry reassesses what Paul said about women, reinterpreting his claims on marriage and ministry leadership in light of his first-century worldview. This book proposes a nuanced theological egalitarian approach with significant implications for renewing twenty-first-century congregations, homes, and society.

A paragon of irenic discourse, Palma takes care to fairly represent a diversity of perspectives. With attention to the ancient world, and refreshingly thorough attention to the diversity of settings in our contemporary experience, Palma’s research invites a serious contemplation of the many expressions of God’s Kingdom in the local church. I do not agree with every conclusion in this book, and that is precisely the reason I recommend others read it. Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock unsettles our thinking, and it is in freshly tilled soil where the best fruit can grow.
