Tracing the Trajectory of the Spirit: Egalitarian Hermeneutics and Biblical Inerrancy
By: Glen G. Scorgie | April 30, 2003
A historical case can be made that Christianity has, all things considered, been good for women. It has not been the mighty agent of gender oppression that it is sometimes made out to be. Still, contemporary Christians can hardly feel smug about the track record of our religious tradition.
All Things to All People: Why shouldn’t we accurately translate the Bible so it is clear in contexts that include both men and women?
By: J. Bruce Kilmer | January 31, 2003

Jacob A. Loewen's recent book The Bible in Cross-Cultural Perspective covers a multitude of subjects—heaven, earth, the afterlife, the spirit world, exorcism, among them. Of particular interest to Priscilla Papers readers is chapter 9, "Images of God: Male, Female, or Both" (pp. 109-16). It is packed with wonderful information regarding inclusive language.
The Importance of Gender-Inclusive Language
By: Julia Alford, David Mustol | October 31, 2000
What language is most effective in communicating the true meaning of Scripture? It is the language of the people with whom we want to communicate. We are at a point today where traditional Bible translations, with their male-oriented language, seem to many to be outdated.
What’s the Difference?
By: Gerry Glasenapp | October 31, 1998
When was the last time you went into a bookstore to buy a new Bible for yourself? Did you struggle to understand some of the versions? Or did you delight in the clarity and readability of others? Did you notice the changes in gender language? Or did you wonder if you can trust this different [...]
