South Pacific Perspectives On Ordination

South Pacific Perspectives On Ordintion: Biblical, Theological and Historical Studies in an Adventist Context

Ordination to the Gospel Ministry, and in particular, the ordination of women, has been a much-discussed topic within Christianity. The chapters of this book relate to aspects of ordination and provide both academic and missional insights from a Seventh-Day Adventist perspective in the South Pacific region. Chapters include:

• Investigations of the biblical data on ordination
• Historical studies about ordination in the early and medieval church
• Theological studies on the meaning of ordination
• Sociological research about women in ministry
• Studies that address whether the Seventh-day Adventist Church should allow the ordination of women.
