Women and the Kingdom
by Faith Forster & Roger Forster
- What does the Bible really say about women?
- Should women be allowed to preach or lead in church?
- What about what Paul said?
In Women and the Kingdom Roger and Faith Forster tackle these questions about what the Bible says about the role, value and contribution of women in the purposes of God. This long-awaited book takes you on a historical exploration of the roles of women in the old, new and early church periods before ending up in the present day.
There is thorough, in-depth exegesis of the passages frequently used to argue the case against women in church leadership, and the book also boasts a double foreword – one from Jackie Pullinger and the other from Professor Andrew Walker.

From the foreword by Jackie Pullinger-To, St Stephens Society (www.ststephenssociety.com):
Faith and Roger have written this treatise on Women and the Kingdom which reads like a thriller. Not only did I turn the pages rapidly, it also pointed me to scripture which gave light and further understanding on what God means for individual women and their part in bringing the Kingdom of God to earth… I pray this book will enable both men to free women to take their place in the Kingdom, and also to let women know they have a unique individual calling. Called, not as an appendage of a man, but to a God given destiny to express Jesus.
From the foreword by Prof Andrew Walker, CTRC, DEPS, King’s College, London:
To follow the biblical and historical signposts for understanding the role and significance of women in the Kingdom who can do better than a modern Aquila and Priscilla, Roger and Faith Forster. Like their New Testament counterparts they are equal partners in the Gospel. I recommend this contribution to ‘right thinking’ in the church by an extraordinary couple who remain loyal to their radical Christian roots but speak to us all.
Revd Dr William K Kay Director of the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies and Reader in Practical Theology, School of Theology and Religious Studies, Bangor University:
Here is a book that summarises a wealth of information about what the Bible has to say about the role, value and contribution of women in the purposes of God. Written in an accessible style, but with close attention to the precise meaning of the text, the reader is led on a fascinating journey from the Genesis to Corinthians. All Christians would benefit from engaging with what Faith and Roger Forster have to say.
Lyndon and Celia Bowring, CARE (www.care.org.uk):
We have always deeply admired Roger and Faith’s servant-hearted, loving leadership in the local church, nationally and in many other countries too. They are well qualified to write this manifesto for the vital and central role that God calls women to have in the church. Although we may not necessarily agree with absolutely everything in it, this inspiring book will undoubtedly encourage Christians increasingly to cherish the ministries that God gives to women.
Alan and Elaine Storkey:
Roger and Faith have produced a much-needed book which will challenge, excite, inform and encourage. We are so glad to commend it to anyone who wants to grapple at depth with these issues. Not only is this a first class read, but is crafted and written from the reflection of a lifelong experience of service and commitment.
