Product Description

Does God have a law that silences women in the church? Would God forbid all Christian women from teaching men in the body of Christ? Some Pastors answer "yes" to these questions and they say that scripture supports these restrictive rules. The passages that they point to in order to teach these prohibitions are also the passages that have been the hardest to interpret throughout church history. These passages on the surface appear to contradict other clear bible passages that free women to serve without restrictions. Because of these apparent contradictions many Christians have ignored these hard passages and chosen to stick to only the scriptures which are much easier to understand. But is this right? Can we just ignore passages of scripture because we don't like them or because they are difficult to understand? This DVD presentation will deal with each of these hard passages of scripture on the women's issue in order to help us understand God's intended meaning. "Women in Ministry Silenced or Set Free?" is a 4 DVD set covering 7 sections suitable for bible study groups or personal study. This unique DVD set is fast-paced and visually entertaining. Each disputed scripture is dealt with thoroughly and decisively to bring the viewer to an understanding of scripture which connects all relevant scripture together without contradiction. The 7 sections in this DVD are: 1. Genesis 1-3 The Designer Knows best. 2. Genesis 3 Who is to Blame? 3. 1 Cor. 11 Headcoverings and Authority 4. 1 Tim. 2 Women, Deception and the First Created 5. 1 Tim. 14 The Elusive Law 6. 1 Tim. 3 Follow the Leader 7. Gal. 3:28 Equal to Serve

excellent presentation.......2007-07-30

This is very very thoughtful presentation covering the puzzling "women and ministry" verses in the Bible. She gives a very compelling argument as to why these verses may not actually mean what the gender hierarchicalists say they mean. I learned a lot from this set, she has some insights I have not seen elsewhere and this is one of my focus study areas. Her main topics are Genesis 1-3, 1 Corinthians 11 and 14, and 1 Timothy 2.

I was very impressed with the way she treated her theological opponents with respect. She includes audio quotes, so one can hear the actual tone of voice in her opponents. Some of the quotes astounded (and ssddened) me. You can see for yourself how much eisegesis her opponents do and read into the text what is not there.

If you are puzzled by these verses or even if think you know what these verses mean, you really owe it to yourself to check out this set, as one seems right until the other is heard. Be a Berean.

WOW. This Was Really Well-Done! .......2006-11-15

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this, other than that I'm researching this subject personally. Honestly, I'm a visual person, and the cover didn't attract me, nor did the initial start up music (not my style) when I popped the first dvd in... But WOW!

WOW is exactly the right word, because this dvd series really wowed me, blew away my expectations and beyond.

First of all, it does not go off on extra-Biblical speculations, but really delves INTO the Scriptures (with an obvious DEEP respect for them).

Secondly, it's obvious that a lot of research and careful planning went into this series. I kept thinking throughout how well laid out it was. I never felt like I was wasting my time--it was always thorough, thought-provoking, respectful of all sides, and yet VERY very challenging.

The quotes by complementarian leaders and the the audio bites--wow... Breath-taking stuff. At times my jaw was just stuck hanging open in amazement.

I would recommend this dvd series to any on either side. If anything, it will help you see where pro-women-in-ministry people are coming from--that it's not always just a "liberal" thing, but that many evangelical/fundamental Christians are asking questions BASED on the Scriptures, not in spite of it. I am not sure if anyone could come away from this series not challenged in some way. It really was that well done.

Sad piece of dookie.......2005-04-29

If this is what manhood is all about, I think it's time to rethink our existance on this planet. Bad script and mediocre acting. Character stories were told incompletely so half the time you are trying to figure out what is going on.

The Stages of Becoming a Man.......2005-03-03

MANHOOD is a film produced for television by Showtime, a resource that usually can be counted on to produce edgy interesting films about a wide variety of subjects, topics that wouldn't normally make it in the Hollywood arena. And MANHHOD is no exception. Written and directed by Bobby Scott, this is a follow-up (or should we dare call if a sequel?) to his JACK THE DOG, a film about a man with sexual addiction that incidentally used some of the same cast members as in the present continuation of Jack's story.

Jack (Nestor Carbonell) is now separated from his wife and has struggled to maintain guardianship of his son Sam (Andrew J. Ferchland) despite his history of being a womanizer. He sees his therapist Alice (Bonnie Bedelia) regularly and has found a new stability in his father-son life, supporting his little family unit by being a photographer. Jack has a sister Jill (Janeane Garofalo) who, born with a congenital hip problem that required many surgeries and still makes her walk with a limp, has turned to drug abuse. She is married to a complete loser Eli (John Ritter in his last role before his untimely death) and, out of desperation to escape from her odious reality, asks Jack to care for her edgy quasi-delinquent son Charlie (Nick Roth).

Jack accepts the challenge only to find that Eli is homeless and begs to move in with Sam also. With his new family unit of four men at various degrees of maladjustment, Jack soon sees Sam identifying with Charlie (drugs, piercing, sex etc) and when he is unable to convince Eli that he must find a job, he lays down the law and forces Eli to move. Charlie's reaction to this is one of repeated desertion. His mother Jill is unavailable to him, as she has become addicted to the internet dating complex, fearful of her rejection of men on a face-to-face encounter.

An incredible tragedy occurs, witnessed by Jack and Sam and Charlie and this tragedy quietly brings the story to an end solely by showing the importance of bonding among men, whether father, son, nephew, etc.

The cast is well chosen and includes minor roles for Tom Arnold, Barry Newman, Anthony LaPaglia and others. Though the story line gets muddled here and there by lack of focus or lack of judicious editing, the premise is good and the acting is first rate. Not a great film (and a rather confusing follow-up to JACK THE DOG without tending to the questions of how Jack faced his addiction and turned into the Jack of this movie), but there are some excellent character studies here, especially as performed by John Ritter in one his more serious roles.
