Women in the Priesthood?: A Systematic Analysis in the Light of the Order of Creation and Redemption

"The work was accompanied by an ecumenical concern from the very start, to which I am indebted insofar as I have tried to take due account of the international debate on my topic, including the part played by non-Catholic Christian communities. I have, therefore, placed special value on the biblical foundations of the larger structure of the Catholic Faith, and have proceeded from there in connection with Tradition.

I am very glad that an English edition will now be published in the United States, for here the topic of "women in the Church" is discussed with special fervor. On quite a number of pages, the reader will find references to the American situation and citations from American literature."
� Manfred Hauke

"Undoubtedly the definitive work available on this important topic."
� Hans Urs von Balthasar
