Publisher's Summary

Fire in Her Bones: A Biblical Defense of Women as Preachers and Pastors is an attempt to help conservative Christians embark on an honest and critical examination of the traditional restrictions placed on women in the life of the church.

To that end, the author uses a conservative/traditional hermeneutical approach to the Scriptures to make a case for an egalitarian model of ministry.

Critic Reviews

"Ellis Orozco is proof that you don't have to be a liberal to support women in ministry and to make a biblical case for women in ministry."—Rev. Mark Wingfield, Executive Director, Baptist News Global

"What a wonderful gift Dr. Orozco has given to the Church! Ellis brings a rare mix of humility, theological scholarship, and a shepherds heart to the subject of women and their place in Gods kingdom."—Dr. Jeff Warren, Sr. Pastor, Park Cities Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas

"With Fire in Her Bones, Ellis Orozco patiently and carefully leads us from the stifling persistence of patriarchy that limits the role of women in home, church and world to the liberating equality that recognizes the full responsibility and participation of women in the gospel."—Dr. George Mason, Lead Advisor, Baptist House of Studies, Perkins School of Theology, SMU

"With a rigorous exegetical approach couched in pastoral wisdom, Fire in Her Bones demonstrates how Christians can embrace biblical authority AND support women in pastoral roles."—Dr. Meredith Stone, Executive Director, Baptist Women in Ministry

"With respect and empathy, Dr. Orozco methodically moves through the difficult biblical texts, pokes at the hierarchical and patriarchal interpretations of these texts, and weaves in stories from his own journey from slow acceptance to the full affirmation of women called to ministry."—Dr. Pamela R. Durso, President, Central Seminary, Shawnee, Kansas
