[edit] Junias

I moved the content of the article Junias here because Junia is the female name and more accepted by NT scholars, such as the NRSV. --JBJ 20:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singer

Junia is also a singer. http://www.a-cd.de/detail.php?id=6741 --Easyas12c 16:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've replaced "feminists" with "some Christians", which I feel is far more accurate. That "Junia" was a woman is generally accepted by most mainline Christians as well as mainstream Biblical scholars, and it's certainly not an interpretation limited to feminists.

It might be more accurate to say that most Christians understand (and have historically understood) the name to refer to a woman who was an apostle, but that egalitarian/feminist scholars have made a great deal of this in recent times.

With a cursory reading of this article I can see a number of minor errors and misunderstandings -- Unless anyone objects I'll attempt a major edit sometime soon (possibly early next week), as I've spent a good deal of time studying Romans 16.7, and I have a lot of the relevant books with me. 146.82.111.234 05:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC) (The above was posted by me before I signed in) Demmeis 05:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
