The Bible and Women in Leadership

Four Studies

Dr. Jim Brownson, Western Theological Seminary

This page links to four studies exploring the role of women in the church, in light of the biblical witness. Each study is available in two different formats. One format is simply an MP3 sound file containing one of four talks. These can be listened to online, or downloaded and played in any MP3 player. The other format is a flash movie file that contains both the recorded talk, as well as displays of the relevant texts that are being discussed. These flash movie files cannot be downloaded, but can be listened to/watched over a high speed internet connection. Click on the links below to access the talks.
