It concludes that such use of those texts is guilty of taking the passages out of context. On the contrary, it is discovered that what the Bible appears to overwhelmingly present is the notion of complementarity of both male and female in the work of the community of God.}, pages = {320--327}, booktitle = {Leadership in Africa: challenges for theological education}, publisher = {West African Association of Theological Institutions}, author = {Enyinnaya, John O.}, editor = {Nihinlola, Emiola and Oduro, Thomas A. and Ayegboyin, Deji}, date = {2012}, langid = {english}, note = {free}, keywords = {Church -- Authority, Gender, Leadership, Religious -- Christianity, Women (Theology), Women in Christianity -- History, Women in the Bible}, }
