In His Image bravely and carefully explores the various passages of Scripture on which a theology of women’s roles in ministry can be built. Pastor Ross Chandler speaks with the heart of a pastor on this issue and frames it in the practical everyday life of a church where women are trying to obey God’s calling in their lives. The biblical analysis is rich with exegetical consideration that gives light to difficult passages of Scripture.

Through heart-wrenching honesty, a brief history of the plight of women is illuminated with the rhetorical question, “Is this what God intended?” Answering the demands in his own Baptist tradition, Chandler offers a defense of why supporting women in all leadership roles is not a slide into what some might call “liberal theology.” In His Image argues that supporting women in all ministry leadership is supported by the Bible, is essential for faithfulness, and helps the gospel ministry in churches become healthy and strong. It is a must-read for Baptist laymen and ministers struggling through this issue today.
