Junia Is Not Alone

Short review: This is a very short book (really an article) on Junia and her history. We do not know much about Junia (mentioned only in Rom 16:7), but we do know that throughout much of the last 500 years of Christian history she has been referred to as a man or if acknowledges as a women was reduced from her role as an apostle.

I wish there was more here. It really does not even scratch the surface. McKnight has a blog and this would make a better long blog article than a short book. It is worth reading, but I am not sure it is worth paying $2.99 for.

I would suggest you read How I Changed My Mind About Women in Leadership first. It actually deals with scripture and the struggle of how people come to understand that women should be in church leadership.
