Over the years that perspective has been shattered by the evidence that I have found in Scripture and in history. I have studied these Scriptures in multiple languages and in great depth. I am a specialist in Biblical languages and have a BA in Biblical Languages, a Masters in Theological Research and a PhD. in New Testament Theology. I studied with some great scholars while in Durham, England: scholars such as Loren Stuckenbruck, James D. G. Dunn, and Robert Hayward. I believe that all of my research and study has opened my eyes to a major flaw in the way most Evangelical churches treat women and utilize their God-given gifts.view less
