The Oneness of Abraham and Sarah
By: Aliyah Jacobs | December 24, 2014
The women of the Bible are beautiful. They flow throughout the Scriptures like a fragrance, leaving sweetly-scented trails of courage across the text. Thanks to my Jewish paternal lineage, I spent some years in a traditional synagogue studying the biblical narratives of brave women who worked, fought, and taught alongside their male counterparts. In the [...]
Christmas and the Kingdom
By: Paul Hjellming | December 23, 2014
As we look toward this holiday season I think it's important to remember what Christmas is pointing to.

Was It Adam's Responsibility to Relay God's Command About the Forbidden Fruit to Eve?
By: Margaret Mowczko | December 17, 2014
In Genesis 2:16-17, God commanded the first human not to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Some Christians believe that the first man was given the responsibility of telling the woman about God's command and warning. This assumption, however, has no biblical basis.

Oneness in Christ
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2014
The Genesis texts offer an exquisite challenge to the historic devaluation of women. In fact, both egalitarians and complementarians agree that the early chapters of Genesis establish the equal value and worth of females and males.
Defining Desire: How should we understand Eve's desire in Genesis 3:16?
By: Allison Quient | December 5, 2014
In many Christian circles, women are taught that their supreme calling in life is to be a good wife, complying with a God-ordained order where women joyfully submit to the servant leadership of their husbands. Where does this idea come from?
Chain of Inference: "Seeing" Male Authority as God's Design in Genesis
By: Bob Edwards | December 5, 2014
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” (Gen. 2:22–23)
