Professor Valeta showed us this article in the beginning of class so I decided to write in my blog about it. It is interesting how the article talks about women actually being important and being needed in roles in the church. But there are so many places in the Bible where women are considered unimportant and are looked down upon. I think that there are more bad roles for women then good. We live in a Patriarchal society and of course men are always looked upon as more important, better or smarter then women will ever be. This article didn't really give too many really good examples. The article states, "Yet while Luke and Acts call attention to these significant women, they do not fulfill roles of authorized leadership in the movement" I agree with that. They talk about the women but they are not doing much of anything significant.
