Book Review: Dictionary of Daily Life in Biblical and Post-Biblical Antiquity
By: Molly Kate Brannock | October 31, 2017
The four-volume Dictionary of Daily Life in Biblical and Post-Biblical Antiquity (DDL) provides a well-rounded overview of life not only across time periods but also across the several cultures of the biblical world.
Book Review: Gender Roles and the People of God
By: Dorothy Greco | October 31, 2017
Theologian and author Alice Mathews recently said in a Christianity Today interview with Hannah Anderson, “Satan knows that if he can keep women out of service, in the church and in the world, he will have won an enormous victory.” Mathews’s most recent book, Gender Roles and the People of God, takes back some [...]
Book Review: Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry
By: Mandy Smith | October 31, 2017
Tara Beth Leach’s book, Emboldened, takes me to the same place, where there is room for women’s burdens and for an imagination of what could be possible if we really did this thing we are called to do. With unapologetically maternal warmth and authority, Tara Beth sits with readers like a big sister. [...]

Book Review: SHE: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Women in Ministry
By: Taylor Kropelin | October 16, 2017
The challenges of being in ministry are difficult to navigate, but for women, the challenges are unique and often more difficult. Unfortunately, women who aspire to be in ministry have to face that they will be treated differently simply based on their gender. One area that is lacking for women is practical pastoral resources written [...]
Book Review: Yehudit: Chosen by God
By: Emily Louise Zimbrick-Rogers | October 4, 2017
Yehudit: Chosen by God is a rare book, difficult to classify. It is a fictionalized reimagining of the apocryphal book of Judith, a historical Christian romance, a devotional message to women, an egalitarian manifesto, and an invitation to follow Jesus. The author, Lauren Jacobs (who also goes by Aliyah), is equally a rare combination—Christian [...]
Book Review: Gender Roles and the People of God
By: Sarah Lindsay | September 19, 2017
Alice Mathews' Gender Roles and the People of God is an accessible study of what the Bible says about women, how theologies of women have developed, and the history of patriarchy. If that sounds like a lot to cover in a single volume, it is—but Mathews has brought decades of classroom experience to her [...]
Book Review: The Other Half of the Army: Women In Kingdom Ministry
By: Patricia D. Kissell | September 14, 2017
I strongly recommend this book as a primer for those who question the role of women in ministry. It is refreshing to share the long journey he has been on in coming to grips with the difficult passages in Scripture.
Book Review: Healing Spiritual Wounds: Reconnecting with a Loving God After Experiencing a Hurtful Church
By: Laurie Reinhart | September 7, 2017
It is a tragic story that is repeated thousands of times: believers leaving Christianity completely when they leave a church or faith tradition that has wounded or abused them. This dynamic is what makes Carol Howard Merritt’s Healing Spiritual Wounds: Reconnecting With a Loving God After Experiencing a Hurtful Church such a welcome book. [...]
Book Review: When Momma Speaks: The Bible and Motherhood from A Womanist Perspective
By: Kaitlin Curtice | September 5, 2017
“The purpose of the stories about biblical mothers falls on literary and socially deaf ears unless they mean something to twenty-first-century mothers,” Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder writes in When Momma Speaks. This is the essence of Crowder’s mission: to forge a story connection between biblical mothers of color and modern African American mothers.
