What Is Biblical Equality?
By: Alan G. Padgett | July 31, 2002

God Always Surprises Me

Look Out, World
By: Megan Greulich | December 5, 2012
I was a junior in college when I first discovered biblical equality. Mimi Haddad had come to lecture in one of my classes.

Identity in Creation and Christ (Part 4)
By: Mimi Haddad | January 22, 2014
Women advanced the gospel by ministering beside Paul, building the church as teachers, evangelists, prophets and as an apostle—Junia. Paul offers the theological foundations for the shared authority of women with all of its spiritual and social implications, throughout his epistles.

God uses female prophets to provide moral and spiritual leadership to God’s people and especially to Israel’s leaders.

If you want to understand gender and identity from a biblical perspective, the early chapters of Genesis are an excellent place to begin.
Examining the Twelve Pillars of Male Hierarchy
By: Philip B. Payne | April 27, 2012
This lecture examines the twelve pillars most often adduced as biblical support for male hierarchy in the church and in the home. It shows that statements in the Bible adduced for this do not, in fact, support male hierarchy. To the contrary, they rather provide evidence for the equal standing and authority of man and [...]

By: Philip B. Payne | July 31, 2011
This recording surveys the exegetical, theological, and practical foundations for mutuality between men and women in Scripture. It also surveys and responds to the primary objections to biblical mutuality.
Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy
By: Ronald W. Pierce, Rebecca Merrill Groothuis | August 25, 2005
Here is a fresh, positive defense of biblical equality that is at once scholarly and practical, irenic and yet spirited, up-to-date, and cognizant of opposing positions.
