Helicopter Headship
By: Ashley Easter | April 19, 2016

Response to Kevin DeYoung's "Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus": Part 2
By: Philip B. Payne | March 9, 2016
DeYoung makes two other assertions. First, he states, "The Jewishness of the apostles is linked to a particular moment in salvation history, while their maleness is not. After Pentecost, the kingdom Jesus ushered was no longer for the Jews alone." Second, he states, "when the disciples needed a successor to Judas, the apostles looked for [...]
Response to Kevin DeYoung’s “Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus,” Part 1
By: Philip B. Payne | March 2, 2016
Kevin DeYoung’s article, “Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus,” makes two main assertions. First, Jesus was pro-woman and virtually all scholars agree. Second, Jesus was complementarian. DeYoung does not reference a single passage in support of this from the Gospels except, “Jesus never rejected biblical teaching from the Old Testament (Matt. 5:17).”
Just Friends? Intertwined Building Blocks of Friendship and Marriage
By: Anthony Bankes | December 5, 2015
Marriage and friendship aren’t in competition. They aren’t two separate concepts on opposite sides of space, racing against each other to cross the finish line. They’re interconnected and intertwined, constantly intersecting to reveal a breathtaking paradigm of mutuality.

By: Jasmine Obeyesekere Fernando | December 5, 2015
Sometimes we are vague about what submission means, but feel strongly that there is hierarchy in marriage and that it is of utmost importance. The apostle Paul’s letters are often the basis of these teachings. Yet, is Paul advocating hierarchy in marriage, or is he encouraging mutuality?
What's Domestic Abuse Got To Do With Theology?
By: Natalie Collins | October 28, 2015
On a macro scale, the complementarian approach to abuse is incomplete. If our mission is to end the abuse and oppression of women, it becomes clear that we can’t just saw off individual branches of oppression, leaving the tree rooted in the sin of patriarchy.
Women As Witnesses in the Gospel of John
By: Marianne Meye Thompson | July 1, 2015
Were women among the Twelve chosen by Jesus? If not, does this mean that they ought not to serve as "leaders" in the church? In other words, how one conceives of women's roles today often rests on how one pictures any official positions that they were authorized to hold in the early church.
Headship Madness: Headship In the New Testament (Part 5)
By: Jamin Hübner | June 29, 2015
Two verses, with a metaphor and a load of presuppositions about a “man’s job,” create a system, culture, and theological method bent on patriarchy. In this final essay and conclusion of the “Headship Madness” series, I will provide a cursory look at the two major “headship” passages.
Headship Madness: How To Do (And Not Do) Theology (Part 4)
By: Jamin Hübner | June 24, 2015
Perhaps the greatest mistake in theologies (systematic and otherwise) can be characterized by the following words: “imbalance,” “reductionism,” “errors of absence,” or “over-simplification.” All of life and human knowledge is interrelated. No fact or experience exists in isolation from other facts and experience. To build arguments and ideologies as if this were not [...]

By: Jamin Hübner | June 18, 2015
The headship litmus test is rigged. How? It is a simple chain of logic that can be summarized as follows:
