China Correcting Imbalance
By: Guest Author | August 8, 2006
It's wonderful, and perhaps all too rare, when countries realize their mistakes and take steps to correct them. China Daily reports that the imbalance between the numbers of boys and girls in China is growing so severe that if left unchecked there will be 25 million men in China between 2015 and 2030 with no hope of finding [...]
Why Does Injustice Against Women Abound?
By: Guest Author | August 1, 2006
Poverty and injustice discriminate. And the health and well-being of women around the world suffer because of it. Many of us who live in privilege do not worry about their daughters being raped during war or being forced into prostitution. Many of us who live in privilege do not think about injustice and inequality at [...]
Egalitarian Marriages Are Happier and Healthier
By: Guest Author | July 29, 2006
There is an excellent article on godswordtowomen.org called, "Empirical Data in Support of Egalitarian Marriages and A Fresh Perspective on Submission and Authority," that reviews many scientific studies that all say that marriages that operate on the basis of equality are much more healthy than those that are hierarchical -- in fact that hierarchical [...]
Ideal Relationships and Metaphor: Siblings vs. Spouses?
By: Alex Bearden | July 21, 2006
Often the gender debate focuses narrowly on leadership and marriage, at the expense of many. But leadership and marriage are two of the highest ideals in Christian culture, right?

Best Bibles?
By: Guest Author | July 21, 2006
The Evangelical Christian Publishing Association (ECPA) has announced this year’s finalists for their Christian Book Awards. Normally, I do not pay attention to these types of awards, because I like to judge a book for myself rather than take somebody else’s word for it whether the book is good or not. However, a [...]
FREEDOM! In Christ
By: Guest Author | June 18, 2006
When the messiah comes, says the Old Testament, he will “proclaim freedom for the captives.” (Is. 61:1 TNIV) Jesus the Messiah came, but he brought something better than the expected freedom from foreign domination: instead, he was interested in making people’s spirits free. Jesus himself said, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is [...]
Faith & Feminism
By: Hugo Schwyzer | June 5, 2006
Secular feminism and Christian faith view many key issues of morality and identity very differently. But those differences do not preclude the possibility of finding significant areas of common ground.
Start Seeing Human Beings
By: Chelsea DeArmond | June 5, 2006
Who gets to be a human being in our day and age? This may seem like a silly question because the answer is so obvious—everyone! But we don’t have to go back too far in history to see that perfectly rational people have considered others less than fully human on the basis [...]
Are Men Really Human?
By: Jon Trott | June 5, 2006
I was born into privilege thrice over. I am white; I am male; I am American. And all that privilege provides me with the shortcut, the front row seat, the illusion of my own sufficiency. Yet, I need help, and I need it terribly.
Mishandling Marriage and the Sin of Uzzah
By: Gary Johnson | June 5, 2006
Yes, the family is under attack. And yes, restoration is critical. But the desire of some so-called “pro-family” advocates to turn back the clock 60 years to Father Knows Best and Ozzy and Harriet is not the answer, because it is not biblical.
