Editor's Note: Susan's Story
By: Megan Greulich | March 5, 2013
So, as women and men who belong to Jesus, how are we to respond to abuse? Over the last few years, CBE has been studying, discussing, and praying about the concept that “ideas have consequences.”
Making History By Remembering History
By: Allison Quient | February 27, 2013
This March, Christians for Biblical Equality will be celebrating Women’s History Month by sharing the histories of women who have had a tremendous impact on the church through their leadership. Far from being mere assistants to men, women from many different cultures, eras, and circumstances have been used mightily by God as leaders, teachers, [...]
Role or Rank ?
By: Margaret Mowczko | February 24, 2013
One of the basic tenets of Complementarianism is that men and women have equal value and worth as human beings made in the image of God. Complementarians also state that men and women have different roles in the home and in the church. Some even say that men and women have different roles in broader [...]
Male-Female Complementarity? (Part 3)
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | February 20, 2013
In a final attempt to rescue gender essentialism, some scholars claim that if a certain gender difference holds up cross-culturally—that is, across many different learning environments—we can more safely conclude that it is “natural” and “fixed.” But this conclusion is also too simple. For example, in chapter 27 (p. 469) of Discovering Biblical Equality (DBE) [...]
What Are You Looking For?
By: Jeff Miller | February 18, 2013
Recently I was in need of a certain book. I don’t own the book, and after a brief unfruitful search I gave up. Later that day, I walked by an office ten feet from mine and saw the book on a shelf just inside the office’s open door. I borrowed it and quickly [...]
Male-Female Complementarity? (Part 2)
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | February 13, 2013
Ah yes, some will say, but look how large and consistent those sex differences are—in aggression, nurturance, verbal skills, spatial abilities, and so on. Surely this strongly suggests (even if it can’t absolutely prove) that women and men have innately different talents—“beneficial differences” in the language of both CMBW and (some) CBE [...]
Effective Preaching
By: Guest Author | February 10, 2013
As a whole, the church seems to have an inadequate theology on preaching. Preaching, we’re implicitly told, is standing behind a pulpit and delivering a three point, thirty minute sermon. All three features (location, methodology, and time) seem to be rather important in defining when a person actually preaches. Thus, when a woman stands [...]
Male-Female Complementarity? (Part 1)
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | February 6, 2013
Egalitarians are often accused of sliding down the slippery slope of "soft androgyny"—the view that claims virtually no differences exist (or should exist) between males and females other than the most obvious anatomical and physiological ones. But, what do we mean by male and female complementarity? From a theological standpoint, like all other human [...]
