Truth Be Told: Leveraging Mujerista and Womanist Theologies for Ministry Among Victims and Survivors of Sex Trafficking
By: Valerie Geer | January 31, 2017
What theological insights should inform Christian ministry to victims and survivors of sex trafficking? Female theologians who are well-acquainted with histories of multiple forms of oppression should inform Christian practice. Therefore, mujerista (Spanish for “womanist”) and womanist scholars ought to be at the top of the list.
Against Eternal Submission: Changing the Doctrine of the Trinity Endangers the Doctrine of Salvation and Women
By: D. Glenn Butner | January 31, 2017
As complementarian theologians increasingly speak of the eternal functional subordination of the Son (hereafter EFS), they move a central pillar of the cathedral of Christian doctrine, unaware that such a change could bring down the entire edifice of Christian theology.
Incarnational Friendship: A Feminist- and Womanist-Inspired Revision of Luther’s “Happy Exchange” Theory of Atonement
By: Joseph Morgan-Smith | January 31, 2017
St. Luke tells us that the women who followed Jesus to the cross “were beating their breasts and wailing for him” (Luke 23:27 NRSV).

A Feminist's Take On The Cross: Justice Over Empire
By: Rachel Asproth | November 9, 2016
In a recent Arise article, Amy Buckley recounted an exchange between herself and a group of men who accused Christian feminists of using a hermeneutic of pain to interpret the Bible. It was their way of suggesting that feminists do not understand Scripture because they identify strongly with people who suffer.
Gender Hierarchy in Genesis: Distortions, Not Directives
By: Alexis Waggoner | November 3, 2016
I don’t really like reading the creation story. This is partly because I skip ahead to what is often described as the “sin story.” I don’t like being told that “the man shall rule over” me (Gen 3:16). To Christians who do not ascribe to gender equality, this verse is prescriptive. It’s used [...]
