Daughters of Sheerah Awaken
By: Aliyah Jacobs | July 10, 2013
I am fascinated with the family lineages of the Bible. Perhaps it is the writer or counselor in me. Genealogies of the Bible abound with intriguing insights about biblical characters we rarely hear or think about.
Femininity
By: Mary Guess | July 9, 2013
I am female. I cannot become “more female”. Unless I were in the process of gender reassignment or was afflicted with a rare chromosomal abnormality, my gender is not a graded scale; it is a black and white, only-two-options phenomena, determined by my chromosomes. So- if I am as “female” as I am ever going [...]

The majority of posts on the Scroll have been written by people living in America, a few from Australia and occasionally there’s one from England. Our statistics tell us that the blog is read by people all over the world and we would love to have some articles written by readers from a variety [...]
Jaimashi!
By: Vaun Swanson | July 3, 2013
Jaimashi!”This is the greeting of Christians in Nepal. It means, “Jesus is victorious!” In a country where the fledgling Christian community comprises roughly two percent of the predominately Hindu population, it rings out as an encouragement to the brothers and sisters of the faith who face persecution on a daily basis.
Punch in the Nose
By: Carey McGrath | July 1, 2013
My little boy started preschool this year and picked out a pink backpack with flowers. At first I was hesitant to let him have it for fear that he would be teased, but decided that if we were truly going to be egalitarians we had to take that risk. Concerned, I asked him what he [...]
What a Shame!
By: Jeff Miller | June 27, 2013
Essentially any book on New Testament backgrounds will include some description of the cultural values of honor and shame. For a full and admirable treatment of the subject, see David deSilva’s Honor, Patronage, Kinship, and Purity: Unlocking New Testament Culture (InterVarsity, 2000). Simply put, most people in the Greco-Roman world were constantly conscious that their [...]

What is Paul’s “Mystery”?
By: David C. Cramer | June 21, 2013
Why is Paul in chains? And what is this mystery that God has now revealed? I believe the answer to both of these questions is the same. And it might not be what we typically think it is. If we miss it, we will miss the importance of Paul’s prison epistles.
A Prayer to End Discrimination Against Women in the Church
By: Mark E. Whitlock | June 19, 2013
There are still church pastors and church leaders worldwide who believe women have no authority to pastor and should remain silent in the church.It is further exacerbated by the misinterpretation of 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Saint Paul wrote these scriptures to guide a troubled, first century church, not to create a discriminatory church policy against women [...]
Learning to Thrive: Ronald Pierce
By: Ronald W. Pierce | June 19, 2013
I grew up in a traditional Christian family in the 1950s. My father was expected to be the leader and provider, while my mother was to be the homemaker who reared the children (six of us). And, we generally assumed that men should take the lead in the small Church of the Brethren we attended [...]
