Doug Wilson obviously hates the idea of women’s ordination to the pastoral office. But he does have quite a way of putting things. Here’s a particularly sensitive and cogent defense of his position:
“Everyone knew that because they were dealing with divine revelation, God was teaching them directly and the sex of the messenger did not matter. God spoke through Balaam’s ass too, and it does not follow from this that donkeys ought to be admitted to seminary.” (Douglas Wilson, Blog and Mablog, June 20, 2009)
This is why there is no circumstance on God’s green earth under which I would ever call Wilson “pastor” or “teacher” — but it does, I suppose, explain why he’s never been to seminary.
