Les Feldick Bible Study

Does the last chapter of Romans show Paul was not anti-feminist?

Yes. The last chapter of Romans records Paul naming woman after woman who was part and parcel of his ministry and helped him in the ministry. Therefore, anyone who has read that chapter could never accuse Paul of being anti-feminist, and the Bible is not anti-feminist.

Les explains that although some people think God is partial toward men, especially in the Old Testament, God still used women. In the New Testament Age of Grace, when the feminist movement began, some wanted the Bible removed from universities and disliked Paul's letters. Les points out that anyone who has read the last chapter of Romans could never accuse Paul of being anti-feminist, because he names woman after woman who was part and parcel of his ministry and helped him. So the Bible is not anti-feminist; Christianity was the greatest feminist movement ever to hit the human race.
