The New Evangelical Subordinationism: Reading Inequality Into the Trinity
By: Phillip Cary | October 31, 2006
A whole generation of conservative evangelicals has embraced a new-fangled version of the ancient Trinitarian heresy of subordinationism. They do not hide their motives. They are determined to see in God what they wish to see in humanity: a subordination of role or function that does not compromise (they insist) an essential equality of being.
Toward an Understanding of Ancient Conceptions of “Head”
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | July 31, 2006

However, with his late acquaintance and marriage [...]
Man and Woman at Creation: A Critique of Complementarian Interpretations
By: Christiane Carlson-Theis | October 31, 2004
The complementarian conviction that women are under male authority and therefore must be excluded from (some) positions of leadership, rests in no small measure on their interpretation of God’s eternal, created order as established in Genesis 1-2.
