Majority of scholars who affirm Junia as apostle think she was not highest-rank apostle

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:14:18 – 00:14:48

Mike makes a crucial distinction within the scholarly consensus.

While the consensus holds Junia was an apostle, the majority within that consensus believe she was not an apostle of the highest rank (like Peter or Paul). Most think she was more like a missionary, a resurrection witness, or a church planter — not in the capital-A Apostle office. This significantly weakens the egalitarian use of this passage.
