Women Deacons in the Early Church: Historical Texts and Contemporary Debates
John N. M. Wijngaards
One of the most common arguments against the ordination of women deacons is that it represents a break with the orthodox tradition. In this engagingly written new book, John Wijngaards, in a careful examination of historical evidence, shows that countless women served as sacramentally ordained deacons in the early centuries of Christianity.
