'...Recommended to all serious students of theology who would like make an investigation into the biblical and patristic insights into this issue of women and the priesthood.' -A. Mannarkulam, Christian Orient 'This book is not a set of answers, but reflects the catholic nature of the problem and challenges us to new and creative answers.' - William C. Weinrich, Concordia Theological Review 'Every essay...contains much that will enlighten the reader of any Christian background...The volume forms a significant resource for members of churches that do not, and churches that do, ordain women.' - Richard J. Mammana, Jr. Touchstone
