Women Deacons and Deaconesses by Charles W. Deweese Pdf
Divided opinion on the topic of this book has caused controversy in Baptist history and life. Most Baptist individuals and churches have strongly opposed women deacons. Some Baptist associations have even disfellowshipped churches that have approved women deacons. And women in general have been suppressed by many recent actions of the Southern Baptist Convention, thereby affecting women deacons. However, thousands of Baptist churches include women in their deacon bodies and find that they make invaluable contributions. The book presents arguments on both sides of the topic, but lands squarely in support of women deacons.
Gospelbound by Collin Hansen,Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra Pdf
A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Women Deacons in the Orthodox Church by Kyriaki Karidoyanes FitzGerald Pdf
A patristic and liturgical study of the deaconess in the Church. includes bibliography of the women deacon saints, the decline of the order, and the attempts at its restoration.
The subject of "women in ministry" has attracted considerable attention in the past half-century of Western Christianity. While much of the debate has centered around ordination and female pastors, few works have focused specifically on female deacons. A Case for Female Deacons challenges reformed and evangelical Christians to accept the legitimacy of female deacons without getting distracted by the more controversial debate about female pastors. The heart of the book contains a thorough exegesis of key passages and a fascinating look at what the church believed about deacons in centuries past. As a graduate thesis, readers will find a cohesive, logical argument supported by a wealth of scholarly research. As a contemporary work in theology, many complementarians and traditionalists will be challenged to revise their position. The end result is a compelling biblical, theological, and historical case for female deacons.
No Women in Holy Orders? by J. N. M. Wijngaards Pdf
In this book the author finds evidence that for six centuries, women were ordained as deacons in the Catholic Church. From the 3rd to the 10th centuries, women were ordained as deacons and translations of ancient liturgies show how they carried out numerous sacramental rites and were responsible for the community of faith. Since the Middle Ages, the Church has said only men can be deacons. Whether women can be ordained as deacons is now still under debate.This book will bring a positive encouragement to all who are conscious of the benefits that the ministry of women might bring to today's Catholic Church and looks to the past for inspiration for the future.

Deaconesses, the Ordination of Women and Orthodox Theology by Eleni Kasselouri-Hatzivassiliadi,Niki Papageorgiou,Petros Vassiliadis Pdf
This collection of essays highlights the thorny and divisive issue of the admission of women into the sacramental diaconal priesthood of the Christian Church from the Orthodox theological perspective. The contributions here stem from scientific papers presented at an international conference titled “Deaconesses, Ordination of Women and Orthodox Theology”, organized in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2015 by the Center of Ecumenical, Missiological and Environmental Studies (CEMES). They cover almost all the fields of biblical, liturgical, patristic, systematic, canonical, and historical theology. The volume’s main focus is the ancient order of deaconesses, in connection with the overall issue of the ordination of women. Although most papers address the issues from an Orthodox perspective, their sober analysis can provide theological argumentation for the wider Christian community, both the Churches and Christian denominations that exclude women from the sacramental priesthood, and those that have already adopted their ordination.
Ordination of Women to the Diaconate in the Eastern Churches by Phyllis Zagano Pdf
The question of restoring women to the ordained diaconate surfaced during the Second Vatican Council and continued to resound in academic and pastoral circles well after Pope Paul VI restored the diaconate as a permanent state for the church in the West in 1967. Available for the first time in English, these two documents by Cipriano Vagaggini, OSB. Cam., on the historical details of women ordained as deacons in the Greek and Byzantine traditions demonstrate that women were sacramentally ordained to the major order of deacon over the course of many centuries in many parts of the Greek and Byzantine East. Vagaggini introduces the conclusions to his study by noting that “in Christian antiquity there were different beliefs and tendencies distinguishing between ministry and ministry, ordination and ordination, with regard to the nature and significance of the respective orders or ranks.”
“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
