Book Description

“Should women be admitted to the church office of deacon? This issue continues to spark lively debate in many reformed and evangelical circles. In this book, Jamin Hübner contributes to the debate by examining the key New Testament evidence, interacting with prominent biblical scholars with logical acuity and exegetical skill, and concluding that Scripture supports the notion of women deacons. This conclusion is then corroborated by a survey of leading figures and movements from church history. This book is a 'must read' for anyone wanting a thorough knowledge of the central issues in this discussion.”– Dr. Mark A. House (Ph.D., Fuller Theological Seminary), Professor of Greek Exegesis, New Geneva Theological Seminary, Adjunct Professor of Greek, Reformed Theological Seminary, Virtual Campus “Jamin Hübner exposited Romans 1 at our yearly Bible conference a couple of years ago, and we were blessed by his reverent and careful handling of the Word of God. I am pleased to see him continue that same approach with regard to the question of female deacons. I heartily recommend 'A Case for Female Deacons' to all Christians who desire a biblically healthy and fully functioning local church.” – Don Fowler (M.A., Westminster Theological Seminary, PA, M.S.M., Multnomah Seminary), Pastor, Mariner's Reformed Baptist Church “I am personally much delighted and encouraged by Professor Hübner's fine work on one of the most important issues before the evangelical church today…Many have drawn negative conclusions from the biblical text without making clear the basis of their conclusions; Hübner challenges them at every point. I think this is bound to lead to significant progress as we explore this topic—if you are convinced this is not a role for women, you will need to answer his calls for precise proof. This can only be for the benefit of all of us.”– Dr. D. Clair Davis (Th.D., Georg-August Universität), Professor and Chaplain, Redeemer Seminary, TX
