By: CBE International, Philip B. Payne | January 1, 2015

By: J.W. Wartick | January 1, 2015
Junia, A Woman, An Apostle by David Williams is a thorough examination of Romans 16:7. The book is intended to introduce general readership to the technical arguments for the conclusion that the person spoken of in this verse was a woman apostle.
Book Review: Is It My Fault?: Hope and Healing for Those Suffering Domestic Violence
By: Liz Sykes | January 1, 2015
There are many excellent books on the topic of domestic abuse, but this is one of the more practical ones that I have read. Included in its helpful resources is a detailed plan or “exit strategy” for the abuse “victim” who has decided she must leave the situation for the well-being of herself and any [...]
Book Review: Battered without Bruises: A Survivor's Story
By: Liz Sykes | January 1, 2015
An extremely well-written account of the author’s experience of living with an abusive husband who appeared to others as the epitome of a fine Christian gentleman . . .

Joseph had [...]

The women of the Bible are beautiful. They flow throughout the Scriptures like a fragrance, leaving sweetly-scented trails of courage across the text. Thanks to my Jewish paternal lineage, I spent some years in a traditional synagogue studying the biblical narratives of brave women who worked, fought, and taught alongside their male counterparts. In the [...]
Christmas and the Kingdom
By: Paul Hjellming | December 23, 2014
As we look toward this holiday season I think it's important to remember what Christmas is pointing to. It's easy to allow the Christmas season to become the center of our religious calendar instead of viewing it in its proper context: a marker of the truths of Easter, the resurrection of the body and the [...]
Was It Adam's Responsibility to Relay God's Command About the Forbidden Fruit to Eve?

In Genesis 2:16-17, God commanded the first human not to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Some Christians believe that the first man was given the responsibility of telling the woman about God's command and warning. This assumption, however, has no biblical basis.
