Gender Accuracy in Bible Translation
By: John R. Kohlenberger III | August 20, 2014
Bible translators face choices on a regular basis. As with many words in English, words in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek can have more than one meaning and only careful study of the context can determine the correct English word choice.
Beliefs Known by Praxis
By: Scot McKnight | August 19, 2014
Sometimes what we believe needs praxis to reveal what the beliefs entail. Sometimes the beliefs are such that the actual practices of those with those beliefs reveal that what we thought they believed is not how they understood their belief.
Hunting Oppression and Abuse Throughout the Summer
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 18, 2014
I watched godly women share their story of abuse at hands of Christian husbands. Their pastors seemed ill-prepared to provide help, answers, or remedies. Over lunch, I listened to leaders, pastors, and lawyers describe the abuse that riddled their Christian communities. The issue had a theological ally—patriarchy believed to be a biblical ideal.

“Feminist” Hermeneutics?
By: Paul Adams | August 13, 2014

CBE Joins the International Christian Alliance on Prostitution Conference
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 11, 2014
ICAP’s conference theme this year was “Delight,” an experience in short supply for those battling sex-slavery. Yet, with each day of workshops, worship, counseling, prayer and rest, those who had arrived hunched over, drained from their work began to straighten up and smile. They seemed younger, lighter and more human thanks to God’s [...]

Poem: A Brew Comes Forth
By: Guest Author | August 6, 2014
From earthly senses, dwells a brew | Calling itself truth; | It denies God’s Righteous burning | And look! See the turning? | Turning away from | Him who’s Heart | Is Yearning | To walk the Garden of [...]
Can the Mosaic Law Be Reconciled With Gender Equality?

Are the Bible and gender equality so antithetical that one’s only hope to reconcile them is by stripping divine inspiration from the Bible, arguing that it is a book written by humans concerning their perspective of God over time? I believe affirming the divinity of the Bible will prove far more fruitful in incorporating [...]
