To Preach or Not to Preach

To Preach or Not to Preach

Author: William Varner

"Dr. William Varner has written a wonderful analytical compendium of every significant Scripture pertaining to gender roles in public worship. Rather than cherry-picking the texts that can be easily spun to support one side or the other, he considers everything Scripture has to say about the subject. The best feature of this book is the succinct way Dr. Varner has brought together all the biblical data in a meticulous, methodical, clear, and persuasive study--all neatly framed in a simple, easily accessible format. The value of this volume is far out of proportion to its compact size. It is the most helpful and reader-friendly resource I've seen on the subject to date."                —John MacArthur, Pastor and Author

"In To Preach or Not to Preach, Dr. William Varner presents, in a loving and respectful manner, the emotion-laden topic of women teachers in the church. This book is not lightweight. Varner quotes egalitarians that we may understand their position. Throughout the book, he analyzes the meaning of many scriptural texts--putting God's message to women in context. I also appreciate Dr. Varner's scripturally based rebuttals that promote meaningful dialogue. Without a doubt, To Preach or Not to Preach is an excellent resource on a crucial and timely topic!"                                   —Donna Morley, Women's Bible teacher and author
