Summary This teaching treatise, framed as a courtroom trial, argues that Scripture contains no universal prohibition barring a called and qualified woman from the pastoral office. It calls three witnesses (Junia among the apostles, the Torah's Deborah, Huldah and Miriam, and the cloud of Phoebe, Priscilla, Philip's daughters and the early Fathers) and cross-examines 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Timothy 2:12 and Isaiah 3:12. The author reverses his own earlier position while fencing the verdict with boundaries on headship, covering and usurpation.
