In "Paul, Women and Church," Dr. Eddie Hyatt argues convincingly that Paul the Apostle was a friend of women and an advocate for their equal status in the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does this by showing the many women in Paul's life including friends, coworkers, and a spiritual mother. He also addresses the "hard sayings" of Paul where he seems to silence women and restrict their role in the church and home. Hyatt examines these passages within their cultural context and life setting and offers interpretations that affirm Paul as a friend of women and a champion for their complete freedom in Christ.
