She began to research the biblical basis of lack of biblical grounds for the damaging step the church had taken. Her steps since then have retraced the steps of The Apostle Paul and the early centuries of church leadership!.
Dr. Cynthia Hester teaches, writes, and speaks on topics of faith and women, both women in the Bible and church history. In 2014, she began questioning her value as a female and her place in the church. It became vital to her to understand what the Bible says about women. So, she enrolled in a deep-dive seminary course on foundations of women in ministry, and continues to passionately study this topic. She has studied Koine Greek, traveled to Israel, Italy, Greece, and Ireland to research women in ministry in the early church.
She earned a master’s degree and a doctorate at Dallas Theological Seminary. Cynthia is a contributing author to the award-winning book 40 Questions About Women in Ministry (Kregel, 2023). She writes a bi-monthly newsletter Querying Questions, and she writes for the women’s leadership blog at Bible.org.
In 2021, Cynthia founded Theology of Women Academy®. In her online academy, she teaches Christ-followers, including ministry leaders, the spectrum of orthodox views on women and the church to equip them to develop their beliefs—their theology of women.
