New Testament scholar Preston Sprinkle has created quite a stir with his new book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership. Formerly ‘complementarian’, Sprinkle has changed his mind. Though he did not initially know where his study would land, after three years of intensive study of Scripture, he concludes (page 288):
The Bible says that women can teach and exercise leadership at every level in the church.
The Gospel Coalition are committed to the view which Preston Sprinkle has decided is mistaken. The day before the book’s publication, they posted a review of it. The reviewer is Tom Schreiner, who declares he’s not persuaded by Sprinkle’s argument and has said why. Sprinkle has responded.
