Five Tips for Choosing an Egalitarian Sunday School Curriculum
By: Naomi Krueger | May 8, 2015
We’re rounding the corner to summer, the perfect time to look for a new Sunday school curriculum for your kids’ ministry.

The Formation of Gender Identity in Child Development
By: Jamin Hübner | May 6, 2015
It is hard to understate the influence of childhood experience. In a very real sense, the past makes us who we are. Some of the most vivid recollections human beings have are from childhood. Psychologists, counselors, and other social researchers tell us that the first phases of a person’s life—whether from birth to [...]

By: Kristin Kobes Du Mez | May 1, 2015
A New Gospel for Women tells the story of Katharine Bushnell (1855-1946), author of God's Word to Women, one of the most innovative and comprehensive feminist theologies ever written.

Translating αὐθεντέω (authenteō) in 1 Timothy 2:12a
By: Jamin Hübner | April 30, 2015
In the women-in-ministry debate, the verb authenteō in 1 Tim 2:12 has played a crucial role. As a result, a plethora of scholarly efforts have aimed at uncovering what exactly the term meant during Paul’s time and what it meant specifically in 1 Tim 2:12. Despite such painstaking work, there remains considerable disagreement about [...]
Women, the Church, and Bible Translation: Key Passages, Issues, and Interpretive Options
By: Scott Munger | April 30, 2015
Public debates continue—and sometimes boil over—concerning approaches to Bible translation. “Literal” is often trumpeted as the divine model, while “interpretive” approaches are seen as invariably sliding away from the ideal. The sacred text’s teaching about women—their role and the language used to describe it—stands at the center of a factious [...]
The Significance of Paul’s Addition of “and daughters” in 2 Corinthians 6:18
By: Lee Magness | April 30, 2015
“And I will be to you as a father, and you will be to me as sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” So writes Paul in 2 Cor 6:18, evidently quoting from 2 Sam 7:14. But the 2 Samuel passage lacks the words “and daughters.” Some scholars assume that Paul has merged the language of 2 Samuel with a [...]

Essential to an academic journal is a group of scholars who ably advise the editor. These four women and four men have agreed to comprise the Priscilla Papers Peer Review Team. They deserve our gratitude for sharing their expertise and thereby advancing the mission of CBE.
One God in Three Persons: Unity of Essence, Distinction of Persons, Implications for Life
By: Kevin Giles | April 30, 2015
Challenging feminist theologies that view the Trinity as a model for evangelical egalitarianism, One God in Three Persons turns to the Bible, church history, philosophy, and systematic theology to argue for the eternal submission of the Son to the Father.
Book Review: Surprised by Scripture: Engaging Contemporary Issues, by N.T. Wright
By: Dawn Gentry | April 30, 2015
Our own study of scripture often leads to more questions than answers, and Wright asserts, “some of the most important questions in life need to be approached from several angles at once” (xi). While the chapter on women may not be a “new angle” to some CBE supporters, it will certainly be new to many. [...]
