Hotel Sting Operation Brought Down Letterman Extortion Plot

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Phoebe: A Diakonos

Dr. Claude Mariottini has pointed out a great article discussing Phoebe.

Here is what he wrote on his post concerning the article:

Elizabeth McCabe of Hebrew Union College has a good article on Phoebe, a woman in the early church who appears in the New Testament as a deacon and as a leader of the church. Her article appears on the SBL Forum.

Who says the 1st Century church did not have female leaders.
