Thomas R. Schreiner, Professor of New Testament Interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, tackles a tricky topic
The #MeToo movement has rippled in many directions. As a consequence, many conservative evangelicals, even those sympathetic to complementarianism, have revived the question about what speaking and leading roles are open for women in our churches.
Of course, in many respects, these have been common questions for years. Still, these questions are asked today with a fresh urgency and some, even within our circles, are asking if we have been too restrictive. New situations raise new questions, old questions re-emerge in new settings, and we should be open to re-examining the Scriptures.
