By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | May 10, 2017
When the curtain on male headship is pulled back, it shrinks from the light of logic and truth. Consider the most recent defense of male headship by John Piper. He offers three reasons why he believes it will endure, but in pulling the curtain back, we find each deeply flawed.
5 Reasons We Need More Women Planting Churches
By: Shonnie Scott | May 8, 2017
“The 21st century agents of change—across the world—are women,” Dr. Salim Munayer announced in a slow, deliberate, hear-this-if-you-don’t-hear-anything-else voice at a conference.

By: Cynthia Mitchell | May 8, 2017
The Gender Conversation is a book that emerged as a result of a symposium hosted by Marling College in 2015.

Book Review: Marry Him and Be Submissive
By: Cynthia Mitchell | May 8, 2017
In the end, I find that Marry Him and Be Submissive stands as a good account of the author’s life and opinions but in no way reflects biblical instruction on marriage and/or submission. As a fun read about someone’s life = A- As a book about Christian marriage = D

Book Review: Eminent Missionary Women
By: Mary Walker | May 8, 2017
The view that only men can use their gifts in service to the Lord is too widespread in our churches today and should be countered by the evidence.

Women, Institutional Authority, and Level Ground in the Christian Blogosphere
By: Tina Osterhouse | May 3, 2017
Throughout history, charismatic men and women of God have risen up, almost out of nowhere, to lead spiritual movements and shape theological discourse. These leaders often build churches and large followings before the institutional church pulls them in for a chat. The air is tense, awkward. At some point in the conversation someone asks a [...]
