Junia was female — the debate is largely settled

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:27:00 – 00:27:30

Mike addresses the gender of Junia.

The debate over whether Junia was male (Junias) or female (Junia) is largely settled in favor of female. The masculine form of the name did not appear for a long time, and the historical evidence supports Junia being a woman. Mike does not spend time defending the male reading but acknowledges some still argue for it.
