The Christian Woman...Set Free: Women Freed From Second-Class Citizenship in the Kingdom of God - Paperback

by Gene Edwards (Author)

For centuries, Christian women have wrestled with difficult questions:

Are women called to silence in the church?

Did Paul restrict women from teaching?

Or has church history misunderstood Scripture?

In The Christian Woman...Set Free, Gene Edwards presents a bold and deeply researched answer grounded in Scripture, church history, and the life of Christ.

This groundbreaking book traces the story of women in the church from ancient Greece through the early church, the Reformers, and into the modern era. Edwards examines how cultural attitudes, mistranslations, and theological traditions shaped views on women-and challenges readers to reconsider what the New Testament truly teaches.

Through careful exploration of key passages such as:

- 1 Corinthians 11 and 14

- Ephesians 5

- 1 Timothy 2

Edwards offers a compelling reinterpretation rooted in historical context and linguistic insight.

- The overlooked role of women in the earliest churches

- How translation traditions shaped doctrine

- The revolutionary example of Jesus' treatment of women

- A practical vision for freedom and mutuality in church life

This book is ideal for:

- students of church history

- readers exploring the role of women in Scripture

If you've ever wrestled with what the Bible really teaches about women, this book offers a thoughtful, challenging, and deeply biblical perspective.
