Nov 30-Dec 2, 1995 "Junia/Junias nochmals" and "Junias Redivivus!"
Dec 5-6, 1995 "Junia endgueltig"
July 10, 1996 "Junias in Romans 16.7"
Jun 25-30, 1997 "Junia EN TOIS APOSTOLOIS (and Andronicus too)"
March 31-April 5 "Junia an Apostle or Junia considered prominent by the
 Apostles?"
June 3-4, 2002 "Epp on Junia / Junias (Rom 16:7)"
August 29-30, 2004 "episemoi en tois apostolois"

This is not an exhaustive list. I'll just note that there are TWO questions
involved in this text: (1) whether the acc. form IOUNIAN in Rom 6:7 refers
to a man named Junias or to a woman named Junia; (2) whether EN TOIS
APOSTOLIS means "among the apostles" (she was one of them) or "in the view
of the apostles" (whether they considered her distinguished). The evidence
seems to point in the direction of (1) this was a woman; (2) she was
considered distinguished by the apostles--but this verse and its
implications are likely to remain a bone of contention for some time to
come.
