Do Gender Roles Keep Women Safe?: A Response to John Piper
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 21, 2018
In a recent Desiring God podcast entitled “Sex-Abuse Allegations and the Egalitarian Myth,” Piper argues that egalitarians are to blame for abuse of girls and women because we neglect God-created gender differences.

Book Review: The Rise and Fall of the Complementarian Doctrine of the Trinity
By: Denise Cooper-Clarke | January 31, 2018

By: J.W. Wartick | June 5, 2017

You're Going The Wrong Way: A Response To John Piper
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | May 10, 2017
When the curtain on male headship is pulled back, it shrinks from the light of logic and truth. Consider the most recent defense of male headship by John Piper. He offers three reasons why he believes it will endure, but in pulling the curtain back, we find each deeply flawed.
Against Eternal Submission: Changing the Doctrine of the Trinity Endangers the Doctrine of Salvation and Women
By: D. Glenn Butner | January 31, 2017
As complementarian theologians increasingly speak of the eternal functional subordination of the Son (hereafter EFS), they move a central pillar of the cathedral of Christian doctrine, unaware that such a change could bring down the entire edifice of Christian theology.

By: Bob Rakestraw | November 18, 2016
There are two main groups within evangelicalism debating the issues of subordination (lesser authority) among the members of the Trinity and subordination among male-female relationships. (This is part 2 of a 2-part series.)
