Bible verses have been used to keep women quiet and submissive for generations, and yet the Bible is quite progressive when it comes to the role of women. Paul discusses some amazing female leaders of the church -- they are apostles, deacons, preachers, and patrons. The first person to proclaim the good news in John's Gospel is a woman, and if it weren't for these female characters there would be no witnesses to the empty tomb.
