YouTube description

Craig Keener, a New Testament scholar, engages with the biblical texts on church leadership and highlights passages where women actively ministered in the early church. He examines scriptural evidence alongside historical context to challenge restrictive interpretations of leadership roles. His analysis suggests that the New Testament does not universally prohibit women from serving as pastors or in leadership positions within the church.
