The Marginalized Male
By: Bradley Harris | December 5, 2000
“Delighted” would accurately describe my reaction to discovering Christians for Biblical Equality. I’m a man who knows something about marginalization and alienation — two themes central to CBE’s concerns.
Is 'Woman' A Dirty Word?
By: Michelle D. Davison | September 5, 2000
“Lord, help me to know where you have gifted and motivated me to serve, so that I might be more fully used by you.” This had become my heart’s cry, yet as I began to sense the direction of the Lord in my life like never before, the doors of the church seemed to [...]
The Head Of The Wife?
By: Dorothy G. Stevens | September 5, 2000
"For the husband is the head of the wife, is that not what the Bible says?" my friend asked in all earnestness. "No," I replied, "that is not what the Bible says. Paul says that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. How is Christ the [...]
One Woman’s View
By: Rosalie Beck, Carol R. Thiessen | July 31, 2000
A church historian discusses her perception of recent SBC actions. Priscilla Papers thought it would be helpful in this discussion of the Southern Baptist Convention and women to ask for her perspective on issues that are related to the recent changes to SBC faith statements.
Southern Baptists and Women in Ministry
By: William M. Tillman | July 31, 2000
The subject of Southern Baptists and women in ministry is complex. What follows is my opinion and interpretation of some of that complexity.

By: Joe E. Trull, Carol R. Thiessen | July 31, 2000
Last June 14, the SBC adopted a further revision to their doctrinal statement at their convention, this time disallowing women as pastors. Dr. Trull discussed with Priscilla Papers the history and effect of these revisions. That interview follows in condensed form.
The Patriarchs Are Coming! Why are they arriving on the scene and in our churches?
By: Del Birkey | April 30, 2000
The partriarchs are coming to church! But what kind of persons would claim such an epithet? In fact, the neopatriarchs who are now coming are those who identify with the ancient, old-order patriarchy. And why are they now arriving on the scene and in our churches? And what is their agenda, hidden or spoken?
Logical and Theological Problems with Gender Hierarchy
By: Rebecca Merrill Groothuis | April 30, 2000
The debate over biblical teaching on gender roles has focused primarily on the exegetical intricacies of a handful of controversial texts, with neither side able to answer completely every objection or difficulty with their position. After more than two decades, it seems clear that this approach is not exactly moving the discussion toward resolution. Perhaps [...]
Why I Didn’t Sign The Southern Baptist Family Statement
By: Alan Brehm | October 31, 1999
What I am against is the disgusting and deceptive way that some use the Bible to oppress and manipulate faithful, honest church folks. The SBC’s recent “statement on the family,” which faculty members at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary were asked to sign, presents a case in point.
Baal in Your Home
By: Kuruvilla Chandy | October 31, 1999
If you are a conservative Christian, you may be worshipping at the altar of Baal. A conservative is anyone who wants to preserve the existing social order. While a conservative Christian may identify himself or herself as one who safeguards the orthodoxy of Christian doctrine, often there is also blind allegiance to customs having no [...]
