Were Jesus and Paul Gender Equality Activists‪?‬

When I was growing up, my first belief in the superiority of men came from Sunday school and what Christian preachers were saying. As I began to study the Bible for myself as an adult, I was amazed at the great extent to which the New Testament elevated the status of women, especially when compared to how women were regarded in Roman law and society. Both Jesus and Paul actually elevate the importance and the status of women to being EQUAL players in the Kingdom of God. This work explores all the scriptures which clearly point this out. The average conservative Christian will be surprised to learn that gender equality ideas actually have their beginning in New Testament teachings.
