Have They Disappeared: Why do Young Evangelicals Know so Little About the Great Women of the Bible?
By: Andy Motz | December 5, 2012
It first came up in my theology class. My professor read aloud 1 Timothy 2:11–12 (for some reason he failed to read the verses above or below) and claimed that there was no solid evidence that this verse was intended only for a particular cultural context. Instead, it was applicable to all churches at all times. I [...]
God Always Surprises Me
By: Rebekah C. DeVore | December 5, 2012
For most of my life, I thought I was biblically accurate in believing that men and women were made completely different and were meant by God to have different roles. This was especially true within relationships and families.
Submission and Aggression
By: Adela Cristea | December 5, 2012
The phone rings twice before she answers, after reaching for it in her purse, “Hello?” She was on the bench behind me in a moderately packed van used as public transportation in Moldova. Inevitably, I became witness to a conversation that made my heart go out to this woman. And I wanted to scream, “Ditch [...]
Who was Abigail?
By: Heather Celoria | December 5, 2012
Abigail, whom we read about in 1 Samuel 25, is one of my favorite women honored in the Old Testament. Often, the church peddles a romanticized and chivalrous ideal (which has no foundation in Scripture) to encourage women to be submissive, quiet, dependent, and careful not to make waves. Particularly within a marriage, many churches teach that [...]
Look Out, World
By: Megan Greulich | December 5, 2012
I was a junior in college when I first discovered biblical equality. Mimi Haddad had come to lecture in one of my classes. Almost a decade later, I still remember it vividly—my perspective from the fourth row of tables where I was situated, the blue and green background colors of Mimi’s PowerPoint slides, [...]
Subverting Injustice
By: Tim Krueger | December 5, 2012
Dozens of cities battle prostitution through a program called “john school,” a program designed to educate first-time “johns,” or male solicitors of prostitutes, about the negative consequences of prostitution. This includes learning about sex workers themselves.
Women Bishops: It's About the Bible
By: N. T. Wright | November 28, 2012
Exhorting the Church of England (CoE) to "get with the program" dilutes the argument for women bishops."But that would be putting the clock back," gasps a feckless official in one of C. S. Lewis’s stories. "Have you no idea of progress, of development?"
Don’t Waste Your Infertility: Gender and the Hard Lessons of Life
By: Brandon G. Withrow | November 28, 2012
When you have no children and you want them, you tend to notice (and covet) the children of others everywhere. Walking down the streets of Chicago, I’ve seen crack addicts use their kids as selling points for donations from passersby. We’d hear of every tragic family relationship—women tossing children in dumpsters for [...]
Reaching Goals, Giving Thanks
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 21, 2012
Last Thursday was one of the most incredible days in the life of CBE. Not only did CBE develop many new friends and strategic partnerships at the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), if that wasn’t enough, we also exceeded our fund raising goal through Give to the Max Day (GTMD) by $11,000! Here are a few [...]
