Stay at Home Dads
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | July 12, 2011
I've known Jack for many years. He is married to a woman named Geraldine, whom I have known since I was ten. Jack is what people consider a man’s man. He loves football, action movies, video games and would totally run in the opposite direction of a romantic comedy if it weren’t for [...]
Simpler Explanations
By: Blake Hereth | July 6, 2011
When it comes to controversial passages, there is an important advantage that egalitarians have. Because of the intrinsic nature of egalitarianism, there is less explaining to do than in complementarianism, at least in one significant way. Let's consider 1 Timothy 2:12-13. This passage is often used by complementarians to show that it is always and everywhere [...]
"Not So With You"
By: Elizabeth Beyer | July 5, 2011
Clearly, it is easy for us to lose sight of God’s ways and resort to our own default way of doing things. The popular concept of “headship”—the idea that the man is the leader of his wife and family and that he exercises authority over his wife as her spiritual covering and priest— [...]
Father Knows Best
By: Jennifer Kane | June 29, 2011
Father's Day was earlier this month and, like many of you, I attended church and heard another variation of a Father's Day sermon. Over the years my father and I have joked about these messages, because we often feel they do not adequately portray his particular type of fathering. In fact, my dad often feels [...]
Two Days' Worth of Comments
By: Liz Sykes | June 29, 2011
Arriving at church on Sunday, we decided to sit next to a couple we know rather than our usual seats at the front. We explained that although we preferred sitting near the front, we would join them just this once. The wife then said “Yes, I like sitting at the front too but my husband [...]
Can You Help ?
By: Liz Sykes | June 25, 2011
Christensen Low may be known to some of you since he often makes comments on the Scroll and is a passionate egalitarian. He has an idea for some research which we can't accomodate on this blogsite, but maybe some would like to email Christensen and discuss the idea.
Philip's Daughters: Prophets Crossing Borders
By: Amos Yong | June 22, 2011
In passing, Luke mentions that Philip “had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy” (Acts 21:9, NRSV; all Scripture references in this article are from the book of Acts). Feminist scholars have pointed out, however, that women’s voices remain silent throughout much of this book, so we know neither what these daughters said [...]
The Meaning of Words
By: H. Edgar Hix | June 17, 2011
There are some philosophical words which can appear scary until we understand them - here's a few.....ONTOLOGY: The study of the fundamental nature of being, what makes something what it is. (Ontology is also a word used in Information Science in another way not related to our issues, in case any of you are [...]
Fretting Over Phoebe
By: Michael Bird | June 15, 2011
Could it be that the first person to publicly read and teach about or from Romans was a woman? If so, what does that tell you about women and teaching roles in the early church?
Is That Really 'The Biblical Model'?
By: Guest Author | June 9, 2011
"He didn't protect me," Nan said of her husband, Blaine (not their real names). Eyes clouding, Nan related how an "insensitive" male supervisor engaged in "ungracious" behavior and the effect it had on her emotionally. I sipped my raspberry iced tea and listened, asking questions here and there in an attempt to ascertain some salient [...]
