By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 31, 2019
Gretchen G. Hull was instrumental in the founding of CBE. One of CBE’s founders, as well as a board member and early pioneering editor of Priscilla Papers, Gretchen was brilliant, gutsy, and never afraid to speak out.
Book Review: Vindicating the Vixens: Revisiting Sexualized, Vilified, and Marginalized Women of the Bible
By: Jeff Miller | October 31, 2019
Vindicating the Vixens is an important collection that takes a major step toward the goal expressed in its title. Its several essays vary in style, including a wide spectrum from academic to sermonic.
Book Review: Consider the Women: A Provocative Guide to Three Matriarchs of the Bible
By: Jeff Miller | October 31, 2019
The book lives up to its subtitle, A Provocative Guide. . . . Though it has some value, I do not recommend it without reservation, given her methods of interpretation noted above.
Transcending Abuse: A Woman’s Use of the Belt, Breastplate, and Sword
By: Constance Phelps | October 30, 2019
None of the articles or sermons regarding forgiveness or the dangers of retaining anger I read had discussion of relationship abuse. To escape the abuser who is part of the fabric of your life, you must garner fury and the wisdom to say it is evil and deplorable.
The Gospel According to Eve
By: Amanda W. Benckhuysen | October 29, 2019
The Gospel According to Eve traces the history of women's interpretation of Genesis 1-3, readings of Scripture that affirmed women's full humanity and equal worth. Biblical scholar Amanda Benckhuysen allows the voices of women from the past to speak of Eve's story and its implications for marriage, motherhood, preaching, ministry, education, work, voting, and more.

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 23, 2019
Welcomed with handclapping and glee, the demeaning of women and people of color was celebrated on the platform and by attendees at the recent Truth Matters Conference. Leading the way was John MacArthur, a mega-church pastor, radio personality, and seminary teacher.
The Imprisonment of Spiritual Abuse
By: Kate A. Johnson | October 16, 2019
Looking back, I see even more clearly the spiritual abuse I suffered over and over. People often ask me how in the world I still believe in God with everything I have been through. It’s easy, I say. It was the people, not God, who abused me and twisted Scripture.
The Power of a Pronoun: How What We Call God Affects Everything
By: Lindsey Boulais-Duong | October 9, 2019
Continually referring to God as “he” (though admitting God has no gender), slowly etches patriarchy on our souls. Without realizing it, I began to internalize the idea that God was male.
What to Say When Someone Dismisses Women's Leadership in the Bible
By: Chesna Hinkley | September 25, 2019
For egalitarians, the book of Judges clearly demonstrates God’s approval of women leaders. Yet many who view women’s leadership as unbiblical dismiss the pattern of God-affirmed female authority in Judges.
What to Say When Someone Says that Wives Should Stay with Abusive Husbands
By: Chesna Hinkley | September 18, 2019
1 Peter 3 is a tricky passage. It’s often been twisted to pressure abused women to stay with their husbands as a sign of submission. But this passage is not meant to subject women to fear or violence; it is supposed to encourage primary loyalty to Christ, not to husbands.
