Mike's conclusion: Junia was probably not an apostle; if she was, she was a missionary

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:44:53 – 00:45:53

Mike states his overall conclusion on the Junia question.

Mike concludes Junia was probably not actually an apostle (based on Burer's syntactical argument), but even if she was, she was likely a missionary focused on women's ministry. Either way, the egalitarian 'trump card' fails — it is based on very little information that likely means something different than what the egalitarian argument requires. Junia would need to have had teaching authority over men, and there is no reason to believe she did.
