Plus, Biblical scholars will tell you that gender roles in the church were never so cut and dried.

There are even some scholars who think Hebrews was written by a disciple of Christ named Priscilla. "Luke was careful to consistently reverse the order (Acts 18:18-19) so that Priscilla’s name always precedes her husband’s. Priscilla was quite significant in the early church as a Bible teacher, church leader and preacher—as evidenced by, among things—that Paul left her and her husband to lead the church in Ephesus."

Then, there's the Gospel of Mary of Magdala. And some scholars think the J Writer may have been a woman of the royal family in the house of Solomon. And, there's new speculation that the Gospel of John may have been written by or sourced from a woman, primarily because it renders the most empowered images of women.
