This paper explores why and how the full participation of women in ministry is crucial for the flourishing of the global church. First, it presents a biblical vision for the contribution of women. Biblical models for women’s leadership are retrieved through a reading of Romans 16. Secondly, it provides practical insight to assist contemporary women, particularly in the Majority World. A strategy for women to navigate complex social expectations and cultural limitations is presented. The demonstration of godly character acts as a mechanism by which women can exercise influence and pursue leadership opportunities for which they are gifted and called.
Many separate the atonement from Pentecost to the degree that the link between them is lost. I wish to explore that link. The link is based on the insight that the cross of Christ is not limited to Israel. Rather, Christ seeks at the cross to open his life to all peoples, redeeming persons “from every tribe, and language, and people, and nation” (Rev. 5:9) and breaking down the wall of hostility between them (Eph. 2:14-16). The Spirit is poured out on all peoples at Pentecost in loyalty to the cross and for the sake of the crucified and risen Christ.
