The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Apologetics and Egalitarianism
By: J.W. Wartick | March 23, 2016
At the speaker's words, my eyes wandered to the other students in the classroom. There was a group of women sitting together near the front. These women were enrolled in an accredited master's degree program in apologetics. I was dumbfounded. How could the speaker say women weren't interested in apologetics with contrary evidence sitting right [...]
Rebuilding A Tradition of Female Biblical Interpretation
By: Kristin Kobes Du Mez | March 22, 2016
The dearth of female authors in contemporary theological and biblical studies has been the subject of recent discussion and lament. There is of course a long tradition of male dominance in these fields. However, despite their marginalization, many women have contributed in remarkable ways to our understanding of Christian Scripture and [...]
The Myth of Extraordinary Female Leadership
By: Tega Swann | March 21, 2016
If we hold female leaders to higher standards than male leaders, we discriminate against worthy women leaders and fail to address the gender-bias that preserves the “good old boys club” in the church. Women should be recognized and accepted as called and qualified to lead to the same degree as men, but they aren't.
Women's History Month: Women in the Modern Mission Movement
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 17, 2016
Women participated significantly in the modern mission movement, serving as leaders in what was perhaps the greatest missionary impulse the world has ever known.
The Power of Educated Women
By: Angela Hurst | March 16, 2016
I was fortunate to be raised by parents who valued and encouraged education for their daughters. Growing up in a family of three daughters with a fairly egalitarian father, I never knew the sting of boys being favored over girls in anything—sports, education, career, or ministry.
Searching for Deborah: Why Did Barak Replace Deborah In Hebrews 11:32?
By: Debbie Fulthorp | March 16, 2016
"Why isn't Deborah mentioned as a hero of faith instead of Barak?" This question stumped me. As someone who loves research, I firmly resolved to settle this issue within a week's time.
Neither Complementarian nor Egalitarian: A Kingdom Corrective to the Evangelical Gender Debate
By: Michelle Lee-Barnewall | March 15, 2016
Regarding gender relations, the evangelical world is divided between complementarians and egalitarians. While both perspectives have much to contribute, the discussion has reached a stalemate. Michelle Lee-Barnewall critiques both sides of the debate, challenging the standard premises and arguments and offering new insight into a perennially divisive issue in the church.
Aemilia Lanyer: Defending Eve in the Seventeenth Century
By: Sarah Lindsay | March 14, 2016
The poet Aemilia Lanyer (sometimes spelled Emilia Lanier) wrote the lines above in 1611 in her book of poetry, Salve Deus Rex Judæorum (Hail, God, King of the Jews). Much of the poetry in her volume recounts the passion of Christ, but Lanyer includes about a hundred lines of verse in defense of [...]
Women's History Month: Mystics and Monastics
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 11, 2016
Despite the opposition of medieval theologians who insisted that women were unsuited for leadership because of Eve’s sin, women leaders, mystics, and missionaries offered strong moral, spiritual, and intellectual rescue to the church in the Middle Ages.
Book Review: Partners in Christ
By: Edward Murray | March 11, 2016
The book is thought-provoking. I would not consider it a foundational book on the topic. It could be used well with a skeptic with whom one has a close relationship and can interact with on the chapters. Simply handing the book to a complementarian and recommending they read it would probably not be effective. One [...]
