You\u2019ll want this book in your library. It provides a wide-lens view on women in the history of the church, from the early orders of widows, virgins, and deacons to medieval monastic movements and modern missionaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its emphasis on obstacles as well as opportunities, and its exploration of the dynamics that have often erased women\u2019s stories, this book is meant to provoke as well as inspire. It also includes lots of footnotes and a great bibliography so you can go deeper on what interests you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Women-Mission-Church-Opportunities-throughout-ebook\/dp\/B0926QW4RP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get the Kindle edition for US$16.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about women in contemporary mission efforts rather than church ministry in general, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Women-Gods-Mission-Accepting-Invitation-ebook\/dp\/B07J1XR33S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women in God\u2019s Mission: Accepting the Invitation to Serve and Lead<\/a>, by Mary Lederleitner (IVP Books).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/worldea.org\/news\/new-book-on-women-and-men-partnering-for-gods-work-aims-to-encourage-churches-to-examine-biblical-stories-and-principles-on-co-working-co-leading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Co-Workers and Co-Leaders: Women and Men Partnering for God\u2019s Work<\/a>, a new multi-author work from the World Evangelical Alliance, now available as a free downloadable PDF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Baker Academic Women in the Mission of the Church: Their Opportunities and Obstacles throughout Christian History, by Leanne M.
