Biblical Sex: Patriarchy's Great Enemy (Part 3)
By: Jamin Hübner | September 16, 2015
Contrary to popular Christian belief, 1 Corinthians 7—not Ephesians 5—is the longest and most substantial chapter on marriage in the New Testament. Another surprise? Marriage is presented in explicitly egalitarian and not hierarchical terms. Yet another surprise? It’s the only passage that actually talks about husbands and wives having authority over each other.
Defeating Dragons: Martha As A Role Model for Single Women
By: Lori Buckle | September 16, 2015
We all knew that after you "graduated" from the high school youth group's "college and career" Sunday school class, you were supposed to jump right into adult classes, where everybody was married. The message was painfully clear: once you left school, you had a few years to establish yourself, and then you settled down and [...]
Biblical Sex: Patriarchy's Greatest Enemy (Part 2)
By: Jamin Hübner | September 14, 2015
There’s a lot of talk about the Song of Songs in Christian evangelical circles—at least when it comes to marital love and sexuality.

Jesus Christ: God in Male-Human Flesh?
By: J.W. Wartick | September 8, 2015
How might someone’s view of gender impact the doctrine of salvation through Christ? I believe it does, and in significant ways. I will argue that if women are subordinate simply because they are women, then Jesus’ redemptive work can—in some fashion—not fully apply to women.
Biblical Sex: Patriarchy's Greatest Enemy (Part 1)
By: Jamin Hübner | September 8, 2015
Patriarchalism in most of its forms, whether in “soft complementarianism” or in the blatant sexism of popular Christian authors such as Douglas Wilson, Mark Driscoll, and others, has always found itself in a tight corner of the bedroom.
Sharing Humanity, Not Neutralizing Gender
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2015
Given male privilege, will my daughter’s aspirations and talents be welcomed? Will she have the same opportunities as males? Or will society shame her, accusing her of denying her femininity, as often happens?
Essential Relationships
By: Amy F. Davis Abdallah | September 5, 2015
The current cultural confusion regarding what it means to be a man or a woman and when or how one passes into adulthood invites the church to create rites of passage that disciple our youth.
Expressions of Humanity Directed by Christ: Variations on a Theme
By: Hilary Ritchie | September 5, 2015
In the gender debate, you will typically find two sides in opposition. No, not male and female, but “constructivist” versus “essentialist.” A constructivist views gender as socially created according to cultural customs and mores. Essentialists view gender as inseparable from one’s very being as human.
