Good ideas but this is too short to actually explain them in any satisfactory way.

Cannot recommend highly enough! Thoughtful, insightful, reverent, honest, and applicable! Kathy Keller gives the most thorough and helpful explication of difficult texts in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy with historical contextualization, linguistic explanations, and a variety of commentaries. She is careful not to water down or take the edge off of any apostolic commands, but her thoughtful, well-informed take on the issue concludes with much more space for God to use women’s gifts in ministry than most churches and leaders I have encountered.

I read this book together with a book by John Stackhouse, "Partners in Christ". I will offer a single review of both. These two books were chosen deliberately as a combination for two reasons. First, both authors changed their position over time. Keller is unusual as a seminary trained female who moved from an egalitarian to a complementarian position with regards to female leadership in the church. Stackhouse is unusual as a male theologian who moved from a complementarian to a more egalitarian position. The second reason I chose this combination is that both authors are scholarly in their presentation but also irenic in spirit and respectful of those who disagree. As I look not only to clarify my own position further but also to offer good resources to fellow Christians thinking through this issue, I wanted sources where the authors do not shout their own convictions so loudly that they are tone deaf to other well argued positions. I though both did admirable jobs in this regard.
It is not completely fair to compare both books across the board. Keller is much more focused in making the case that the role of women in church leadership is a theological issue than it is a justice issue. The point is made compellingly. Stackhouse's book is considerably longer and addresses a broader range of issues. His strength is in taking the reader through the interpretive process to adequately understand this matter not just in a biblical sense but in a fully biblical sense. He does an exceptional job of bringing all the interpretive factors to bear.

For a subject that is difficult and sensitive, Kathy Keller brings sound wisdom and personal perspective. Her treatment of key verses and counter-arguments is impressively full despite the brevity of the book.
As a woman who is really seeking to understand this issue for myself as well as understand why others stand where they do, I am super thankful for the clarity she brings in this book. I am also thankful for the way she acknowledges how we must trust in the goodness of God when we don’t understand His motivation behind the design he put into place - we can know, however, that the mystery of gender roles is here to reveal truth about Him and it is in obeying His will that we find our true selves. Highly recommend this booklet to men and women!

I think Kathy Keller believes what she is proposing but I do not agree with her premise.
She states that "what would this mean to the original audience would be a significant help in understanding what is being prescribed and why." But then she seems to insist that the message to
the original church should apply to us in our century. I don't agree with this. Paul was writing to the people of his day instructing his church in how to fit into the culture of his day. She draws the conclusion that the only teaching that is forbidden is women to be "authoritative teaching."
Her logic is that God doesn't change. God indeed has changed horses in the middle of the stream as far as how things operate. In the Old Testament we see animal sacrifices. In the New Testament Jesus is the sacrifice for our sins. In the Old Testament the Jews are the chosen. In the New Testament all people are welcomed into the church. Her logic doesn't ring true to me. I believe we can trust God's word, but when men get involved it gets more complicated. Unfortunately, just as scripture was used to justify slavery, scripture can also be misapplied in many other ways.

This is a super short book (30 pages). But it packs in excellent Hermeneutical, personal, and practical arguments. This book made clear to me practices & reasoning that were never well explained to me in church. Highly recommend!!
