What arguments does the text NOT list for the ordination of women?
a. The whole matter of ordination is ill-defined, if not absent, from the New Testament. So while women's ordination is not found in the NT, men's ordination is not clearly found either.
b. While women's ordination is not found in the Bible, the Scriptures "trajectory" is towards egalitarianism (much like the liberation from slavery).
c. The ordination of women is not so much a biblical question as it is an ecclesiological question.
d. To deny women the right to ordination is contrary to the historical tradition of the Church.
Answer: d. To deny women the right to ordination is contrary to the historical tradition of the Church.
