Gender Egalitarianism in Marriage
By: Lynn Cohick | January 27, 2010
Those supporting gender egalitarianism in marriage have rightly highlighted biblical passages which focus on the parity between husband and wife, such as 1 Cor. 7:3-4. Although the New Testament has several sections on marriage in general (see 1 Cor. 7:1-40; Eph. 5:21-33; Col. 3:18-19; 1 Pet. 3:1-7), we have hardly any historical couples who live out their marriages [...]
No Condemnation
By: Yvette Menking | January 27, 2010
Like a swimmer gripped by an undertow, the following words in the Bible when taken out of context and misinterpreted can pull women down spiritually.“Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says… it is disgraceful for a women to speak [...]
Women in the World of the Earliest Christians
By: Lynn Cohick | January 20, 2010
The passing of Mary Daly last week brought back memories of my graduate class in Feminism and Christianity. In 1984, I was in a class of about 20 women, all of whom were post-Christian (as they defined themselves). They were convinced that Christianity, and even Christ, had nothing good to say to them as women. I hoped [...]
Challenging Assumptions and Errors One Book at a Time
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 13, 2010
Do you consider books your best friends? Do you remember reading your first book on biblical equality? The early books sold by CBE were few in number. We continued to add new authors from around the world as time passed and interest continued to grow from all corners of the church. But, then a miracle [...]
The Messengers
By: H. Edgar Hix | January 7, 2010
“When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they [...]
The Joy of Giving
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 30, 2009
"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift [...]
Sounds familiar?
By: Guest Author | December 28, 2009
This account is the testimony of Liz Beyer, the CBE bookshop co-ordinatorMy life was a series of contradictions before I confronted the issue of biblical equality. Growing up, my family went to a restrictive church, but my parents were very egalitarian. They encouraged me to do whatever I wanted to do. From the outset, the [...]
Witness of the Prophets
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 23, 2009
Do you marvel at the array of messengers sent to welcome our Savior’s birth? There seems to be a herald from every corner of the created world. From the angels, to the shepherds, to the Magi, even the stars have their emissary declaring Christ’s birth. The list of messengers is so diverse, it [...]
The Abuse of Scripture and its Consequences in Gender Inequality (Part 2)
By: Manfred T. Brauch | December 16, 2009
In my previous column (based on my recently published book, Abusing Scripture), I argued that the “abuse of words” often does violence to the meaning and message of Scripture. I illustrated this by showing that the designation of the woman as man’s “helper” (Gen. 2:20) does not show her as a subordinate person, but rather [...]
Sticking Point
By: Trevor Sykes | December 12, 2009
We have a situation where recently, at the church where one of our sons and his family attend, the senior minister felt called to resign and accept a teaching position at a Theological college. Some years previously this same Baptist Church had agreed to inviting persons to become a part of the Pastoral team on [...]
