	Women in the Old Testament and the Church
		When it comes to women and the concept of submission in the Bible, it does not imply that she is inferior to man in any way, but she is ordained to have a different position in relation to man, each having distinct roles.
		The women were among the first Christian converts in Samaria (Acts 8:12); the first convert in Europe was a woman, Lydia of Thyatira, who showed hospitality in her home for Paul and a meeting-place for the infant church (16:14).
		Women are forbidden to exercise such authority over a man through the Church or home, therefore they cannot be pastors over a local church or apostles over churches, both exercise authority over great number of men.

	I CORINTHANS 11:3-16 - Role of Women
		Women in Greece were famous for being "oracles" and "prophetesses" in the pagan temples where they spoke publicly in the worship of the pagan Gods.
		Women, on the other hand, are to serve in the home, in teaching other women, in private evangelism, in caring for others, and in many other important functions.
		Women who pray and prophesy remain in the same relationship to men; they are still subject to them as the general principle states.

	Three views of the Millennium
		Old Testament prophecies were given in figurative language to depict the events of salvation through Christ.
		So when the Old Testament prophets write about the last days, they are writing about the age of the church, the age we are in right now.
		Old Testament prophecies can be fulfilled either in the church age, through figurative fulfillments, or fulfilled in an even better way in the new heavens and new earth after Christ returns.

	Jesus and the Role of Women - Jews for Jesus
		The social condition of women in the first century had been radically altered from that of their Old Testament sisters.
		The women with whom Jesus spoke were very likely illiterate, since the rabbis did not consider it incumbent upon women to learn to read in order to study the Scriptures.
		Women were not allowed to participate in public prayer at the Temple, although they were encouraged to have private prayer lives at home.

	The Rights of Muslim Women - Middle East Quarterly
		We, the undersigned, believe that the oppression of women is a grave offense against all of humanity and that such an offense is an impediment to social and moral progress throughout the world.
		Women in many Islamic societies are expected to marry, obey their husbands, bring up children, stay at home, and avoid participation in public life.
		To achieve these basic human rights for women, we advocate that the question of women's status be removed from the religious sphere altogether, that governments institute a separation of religion and state, and that authorities enact a uniform civil code under which all are equal.

	Christian views of women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is extraordinary, and notable with regard to the fact that women were not allowed to be witnesses in legal proceedings under rabbinical law as they were said to be "all liars." Many female ministers have held this to be the main justification for their equal calling.
		Colossians 3:18-23 in particular is addressed directly to specific groups: women are to submit to the leadership of their husband, men to love their wives and not to treat them with harshness, children to respect their parents, fathers not to frustrate their children, and slaves to obey their masters.
		Women seem not to be considered in verses that discuss the criteria for selecting bishops and deacons.

	USCCB - Preface to the Revised Edition of the New Testament
		Since the New Testament is the product of a particular time and culture, the views expressed in it and the language in which they are expressed reflect a particular cultural conditioning, which sometimes makes them quite different from contemporary ideas and concerns.
		Insofar as possible, the translation of such Old Testament citations agrees with that of The New American Bible Old Testament whenever the underlying Greek agrees with the Hebrew (or, in some cases, the Aramaic or Greek) text from which the Old Testament translation was made.
		But citations in the New Testament frequently follow the Septuagint or some other version, or were made from memory, hence, in many cases the translation in the New Testament passage will not agree with what appears in the Old Testament.

	Review of de Troyer
		What she finds striking is that while the wording of the original laws may have intended to attribute greater impurity to women and place them in a subordinate, objectified position to men, the final redactor has structured the presentation of the laws to mollify this effect.
		She explores new territory in wondering, though, to what extent the view of women, either menstruating or bearing children, as unclean continues to preclude them from the priesthood.
		She draws a sharp contrast between women's involuntary shedding of blood and the voluntary shedding of blood by men throughout history either in ritual sacrifice, warfare, or in the celebration of the mass.

	The ordination of women in the Roman Catholic Church
		As a transition from the Old Testament into the New, let me invite the reader to engage in a brief exercise in imagination.
		A considerable number of Christian women took this formula to mean that the created order was to be denied.(54) The Church restored “law and order” by introducing the traditional household codes and by forbidding heresy-prone women from continuing in or assuming leadership functions in the Church.
		The varied ministries of men and women, evidenced within the NT, are proof of the rich guidance given by the Spirit to the Church as it adapted to diverse circumstances.

		Ruth and Nadia Matar are co-chairwomen of Women in Green, a grassroots women's movement dedicated to the security and Jewish heritage of historic Israel.
		In view of the tremendous positive contributions Jews and Judaism have made to mankind and to Western Civilization throughout the ages, this is not to be understood.
		The Old Testament Bible is still hallowed as a major source of religious belief.

		It is difficult to speak of the New Testament as a scripture that calls for honoring the mother.
		It is clear in the Old Testament that uncovering a woman's head was a great disgrace and that's why the priest had to uncover the suspected adulteress in her trial by ordeal
		Islam should be viewed as a religion that had immensely improved the status of women and had granted them many rights that the modern world has recognized only this century.

	How to Apply the Old Testament to Today
		The Old Testament is the same covenant as the New.
		If you have an Old Testament command and it is changed or set aside in the New Testament, then it is no longer valid and is not binding upon us as Christians.
		Paul does not refer to the specific Old Testament passage(s) that he has in mind, but it is obvious that Paul considers the Old Testament to have continuing validity for women in New Testament worship.

	Church of God in Christ, Mennonite
		The Mennonite Church, sometimes referred to as the Old Mennonite Church, faithfully maintained the high standard of the gospel through the early history of the United States.
		It is saddening to note that over the last century many of the descendants of these early Mennonites deviated broadly from the doctrines of their forefathers.
		Some issues of concern were the apparent traditionalism and lack of spiritual life; the baptism of people who were not converted from worldliness; the lack of diligent child training; and default in practicing the doctrine of church discipline.

	Women in the Church: Objections Considered
		As we have seen, the general tenor of New Testament teaching indicates that ministry in the church, including leadership ministry, was broad enough in scope to include women.
		Despite these many Scriptures, however, the case for women in ministry is often derailed at the point of two perplexing proof-texts which are frequently hailed as "clearly" settling the issue.
		Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

	M. Delahoyde: Review of Chaucer CD-ROM
		The "Life and Times" discussion is more valuable, providing a biographical sketch of Chaucer and some historical and literary context; but this too seems skimpy ultimately, focusing only on the long-established biographical factoids.
		Beneath the desktop and tucked into shelves and the desk drawer are numerous other materials, including a "Glossary" similar to that of the Riverside, and a tutorial titled "How To Read a Medieval Manuscript," which, when one clicks on the spectacles icon, discusses literacy, the history of printing, and textual problems.
		More exciting, of course, is the inclusion of visual materials, such as a map of the major English pilgrim routes (from London, west to Winchester and southeast to Rochester and Canterbury), which one views in the manner of an unfurling scroll and which is linked to pop-up text and images.

		The article described the furious reactions of the participants of a conference on women and power held in Montreal to the comments of the famous Egyptian feminist Dr. Nawal Saadawi.
		I was not surprised that the conference participants had held such a negative view of Islam, especially when women's issues were involved.
		That is, my concern is, mainly, the position of women in the three religions as it appears in their original sources not as practised by their millions of followers in the world today.
