Women's History Month: Early Evangelical Women
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 24, 2016
When I am invited to speak at a Christian college, I make an effort to learn something about the school, particularly about the founders and graduates. Over time, I’ve discovered an impressive history of women graduates who were trained by these early evangelical Bible institutes, today's Christian colleges and universities, in the 1800s.
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.

Women's History Month: Mystics and Monastics
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 11, 2016

Women’s History Month: Early Church Women and Desert Mothers
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 4, 2016

Preferring rejection, torture, and even death to renouncing their faith, women served Christ as missionaries, scholars, and pilgrims. Women were also noted among the martyrs of the early church, and their astounding courage and faith changed the [...]
Book Review: Building the Old Time Religion: Women Evangelists in the Progressive Era
By: Leanne M. Dzubinski | January 1, 2016
In a time when men like Billy Sunday and Dwight Moody were gaining national recognition, significant numbers of women were also making major contributions to American evangelical faith—yet without the same levels of fame. This book fills in some of those missing pieces.
Women in the History of Missons
By: Allen Yeh | August 1, 2015
Women have outnumbered men 2:1 in Protestant missions history. Often their stories are not told, and this recording will highlight certain people and themes and trace some narrative threads between them.

It will be my privilege to offer a pre-conference workshop at CBE's LA Conference titled, "Women in Church History."

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
By: Allen Yeh | July 20, 2015
If William Carey was the “father” of modern missions, was there a “mother?” Certainly, many prominent women have made their mark. Lottie Moon is considered the patron saint of Southern Baptist missions. Ann Judson was every bit as capable a missionary as her husband Adoniram.
Daughter of the Reformation: A Historical Perspective of the Life and Times of the Wife of Martin Luther
By: Mary Helene Rasmussen Jackson | June 17, 2015
Many books have been written about the great reformer Martin Luther, but we know considerably less about his wife Catharina von Bora, the primary relationship in his life. Mary Rasmussen Jackson tells Catharina's dramatic story with authenticity and compassion, deftly reporting what we know about von Bora and filling in the missing content with imagination, [...]
