BAKER BOOKS 
2005

Evangelical Christians say they believe in biblical moral standards and the power of God to transform lives--yet recent surveys show that most are not living any differently than the rest of the world. From money to sex to racism to personal self-fulfillment, a scandalous percentage of Christians are violating biblical standards with barely a twinge of conviction.

Ron Sider takes a painfully honest look at this disconnect to reveal the depth of the problem and contrast it with biblical teaching on the transforming power of genuine faith. When we apply these biblical teachings to our lives, we will be more suited to close the gap between who we are and who God calls us to be.

In The Myth of the Submissive Christian Woman, Brenda Waggoner dispels the myth that biblical submission requires that women reject who they are and become passive in their relationships with God and others.

Along the way, Brenda also shatters the misconception that good manners, niceness, and passivity equal godliness and reveals that true biblical submission does not mean submitting to everyone else's wants, needs, and opinions while ignoring your own. Instead, it means living truthfully by putting God first, submitting yourself to his will, and living your life according to what he desires.

Randy Woodley, a Keetoowah Cherokee, casts a biblical, multiethnic vision for people of every nation, tribe, and tongue. He carefully unpacks how Christians should think about racial and cultural identity, demonstrating that ethnically diverse communities have always been God's intent for his people.

Woodley gives practical insights for how we can relate to one another with sensitivity, contextualize the gospel, combat the subtleties of racism, and honor one another's unique contributions to church and society. Along the way, he reckons with difficult challenges from our racially painful history and offers hope for healing and restoration. Includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussions.

One day she awakens to a blast of trumpets as the Israelites and Arameans battle just outside the safety of her village walls. Curious, Adara sneaks out to see the battle. Little does she know that this will be her last day of freedom for a very long time...

Considering the lack of resources that exists in the study of women's preaching, Kim makes a very significant contribution to the development of homiletics, as it joins together the history of women preachers with theological reflections from other women preachers as well as herself. It is the author's hope that this book will provide a broader and deeper basis for the theology of preaching as well as practical ways in which preachers can improve their own preaching by looking at a woman's perspective.

The Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) has long affirmed the full participation of women in all ministries of the church, and in 1976 passed a recommendation to go on record as favoring the ordination of women. Since that time, women have served in all levels of ministry and leadership positions within the church.�

This current statement created by the Commission on Biblical Gender Equality of the ECC builds on that foundation in a thorough and well-grounded articulation. Using a question-and-answer format, this document provides a tool both for individual study and for use in churches and families.
