However, I see from the table of contents that Mike now thinks that Junia may really be Junias, masculine. And yet a year ago Mike told me he was planning to write an article defending the notion that Junia, fem. was well-known to the apostles. Can you tell me what has caused this about face? Denny,

However, I find articles such as the one written by Stinson/Cowan to be condescending toward women. When one asks, "What can we let women do in the church?" it sounds incredibly patronizing as if these women are our young children. And again I'm fully on board with complemetarianism having learned it from Grudem and Ware when both were at Trinity. I am sympathetic to the article's stated goal of trying to help churches and pastors apply the Scripture. That's noble and needed. But maybe in this one case it just should be avoided. Not because it is unbiblical or isn't right to do but because it seems that it can't be done in a winsome way. I'm sure that many will disagree, doubt my commitment to Scripture and my complementarian bona fides, but just read the article yourself and try to understand my point.
