By: Rachel Asproth | July 31, 2015
In my last article, "4 Sexist Myths That The Church Should Reject," I did my best to dismantle four sexist myths that have caused significant pain and division in the church. I wasn’t going to add to my list, but after many of you responded with sexist cultural myths of your own, I could see [...]
Rebecca Merrill Groothuis’s Contribution to Biblical Equality: A Personal Testimony and Lament
By: Douglas Groothuis | July 31, 2015
Biblical feminism is an oxymoron—or so I thought when I met Becky Merrill in 1983. She had leanings in this direction, but I did not let that stop me from being interested in her. But time makes fools of us all, especially when God undermines our convictions and replaces them with new insights into old [...]

By: Emily Louise Zimbrick-Rogers | July 29, 2015
My conference workshop, "A Question Mark Over My Head: Learning From the Narratives of Female Theologians in the Evangelical Academy," presented the voices of evangelical women theologians--the struggles and the triumphs, the creative ways in which they are following God's call, and their insight on the state of the church and the evangelical academy.
Rizpah: A Bible Woman Who Wanted
By: Lori Buckle | July 29, 2015
This quote reminds me of Bible women. Often, we are startled when we read their stories—precisely because they do not appear self-conscious. When they felt called to pursue God, they did so with fierce dedication. Significantly, that passionate spirit of want was traditionally (and continues to be today) associated with Bible men.
If Eve Only Knew: Freeing Yourself from Biblical Womanhood and Becoming All God Means for You to Be
By: Melanie Springer Mock, Kendra Weddle Irons | July 28, 2015
"She is a godly woman." "True love waits." Are these phrases and many others about gender truly based in scripture, or based on dusty, outdated stereotypes? And how do these perceptions prevent people, especially women, from fully expressing their faith?

Amir had been co-teaching our gender communication class for almost three months, and had approached every issue with a skillful blend of [...]
