Narration As Books Junia Is Not Alone

In this fierce essay, leading Bible scholar Scot McKnight tells the story of Junia, a female apostle honored by Paul in his Letter to the Romans--and then silenced and forgotten for most of church history. But Junia's tragedy is not hers alone. She's joined by fellow women in the Bible whose stories of bold leadership have been overlooked. She's in the company of visionary women of God throughout the centuries whose names we've forgotten, whose stories go untold, and whose witness we neglect to celebrate.

But Junia is also joined by women today--women who are no longer silent and who are experiencing a re-voicing as they respond to God's call to lead us into all truth. (Patheos Press)

Judgment Appertaining To Books Junia Is Not Alone

Simple truth, and Scot is bringing it back!Reading this made me hungry for more. We need more men who are in season and out if season who will advicate for the calling that many of us women struggle to embrace. The personal battle we face to get where we know God has called us to go seems to be barred by our own brothers, and I pray one day, that this won't be so!

Very short and basically argues that because Junia was an apostle, therefore women's ordination/equality/etc. Worth the 10 minutes it takes to read.

Great, short and to the pointI have been a Christian for twenty years and have never had a problem with women teaching in the pulpit. Today someone about my age actually told me women shouldn't teach in the church. I couldn't believe some one actually held this belief. I have had many wonderful female pastors over the years who have guided me to a greater faith. Reading this book I am reminded of how much women have been central to God's work of bringing the good news of God's salvation to a

Fascinating little book on a fascinating topic. Have male translaters of the bible erased a woman from the scriptures by changing her female name 'Junia' to the masculine 'Junias', mainly because the Apostle Paul refers to her as outstanding among the Apostles? Check your Bible if you are so inclined, Romans 16:7, I would bet you find the name 'Junias' I personally am disgusted by the way men have silenced and overlooked so many great women in the Bible. For example how many of you have ever

This is a short, but sweet, overview of how Junia became "Junias" is many modern Bible translations, and is slowly being changed back and allowed to be in her proper place. He brings up several examples of forgotten women theologians and missionaries and what they did to improve modern culture -- in both church and secular societies -- and reaffirms the places of several other women mentioned in the Bible but forgotten by modern Christian religions that downplay or condemn the role of women

McKnight is a good writer, but I was expecting more from this book. It is a quick read, but I would describe it as mostly rhetoric and short on arguments. I couldn't help but feel while reading it that a good satire could be written entitled "Andronicus is Not Alone", which could match it point for point with the exception of the name shifting.Even the rhetoric was tiresome, though. We don't hear sermons about Junia or Phoebe for the same reason we don't hear sermons about Andronicus or

A simple and powerful piece affirming women who are gifted to use their gifts. Challenging us to tell the stories of women of scripture and history in honour of Junia and so many like her - who have always been there, doing wonderful things in God's name, leading, teaching, serving faithfully - just sadly silenced or written right out of history.
