John Mark Hicks Bücher

Does God invite women to fully participate in all assemblies? In many Churches of Christ, women's voices are often silenced and excluded from leadership roles. John Mark Hicks shares his journey from excluding women to embracing their full participation and leadership in worship. He discusses the historical context of Churches of Christ and focuses on biblical texts that support women's roles in assemblies. Three women—Claire Davidson Frederick, Jantrice Johnson, and Lauren Smelser White—respond to Hicks's insights, extending the conversation on women's inclusion. Hicks approaches his topic with detail, fairness, and vulnerability, making him a trustworthy guide for navigating the complexities of scripture and cultural dynamics. With depth and rigor, Hicks reflects on the Restoration Movement's history while advocating for women's voices in congregational life. His work serves as a valuable resource for contemporary Churches of Christ, blending autobiography, history, exegesis, and biblical theology to explore women's roles in worship gatherings. John Mark Hicks is a Professor of Theology at Lipscomb University, with thirty-nine years of teaching experience in Churches of Christ. He has authored eighteen books and lectured internationally. He lives in Nashville, TN, with his wife Jennifer and their five children and six grandchildren.
