Overview and Objectives
Phoebe and Junia are two lesser-known women of the New Testament, but their work was of great importance to the early church. Join Dr. Cohick as she investigates biblical and historical evidence demonstrating the roles of these two women in advancing the gospel.
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:
- Identify Phoebe and Junia in the New Testament and the roles they played in the early church.
- Counter arguments that Junia was not a woman and that she was not an apostle.
- Use the examples of Phoebe and Junia to demonstrate women’s ability to contribute to the life of the church in significant ways, both then and now.
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
In Ephesians 4, Paul describes the purpose of leadership gifts in the church: “to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Which Christian leaders have you seen leading through works of service?
