About the Book: 

Written for both sexes by a professor of theology, Divine Calling of Women to the Pastorate demonstrates how the Hellenistic culture infiltrated the Christian faith and community with such divisive impacts between sexes, and the attempts of misinformed males to alienate women from the pastorate which they founded. The book attempts to provide illumination on the distortion of certain vocabularies and misconception of God as of one-sided masculine gender, as pagans view their gods. Vivid historical anecdotes relate how God has employed women from the beginning of creation to the founding of the Christian church and the current era. Finally the book concludes by encouraging women to continue their valuable work in the pastorate without hesitation as women in previous generations have done.
