Joseph Dutko both deepens and extends the eschatological hermeneutic that other Pentecostal theologians have called attention to and also applies it to resolving one of the most intractable issues facing Pentecostal churches today: the full support and promotion of women in ministry and elsewhere. While there remain surely socioeconomic-cultural and political-economic impediments to the full flourishing of women in Pentecostal communities, this book provides one of the most definitive scriptural and theological arguments for shattering the so-called “stained-glass ceiling” once and for all in churches and organizations that desire to be Spirit-led-and-inspired.
