By: Woodrow E. Walton | October 31, 2014
As part of the “Bible Themes” series within the larger The Bible Speaks Today collection of Bible commentaries and themes, The Message of Women is an exposition rather than a detailed commentary.

Book Review: Philip F. Esler's Sex, Wives and Warriors: Reading Biblical Narrative with Its Ancient Audience
By: Jeff Miller | October 31, 2014
Esler is emeritus professor of biblical interpretation at St Mary’s University College, Twickenham, London, and was principal of St. Mary’s when this book was published.

Freedom in Christ
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 29, 2014
Last month, I had the pleasure of working beside CBE partners in South Africa and Kenya, observing the impact of biblical teachings on gender equality.

Lynn Anderson’s book, They Smell Like Sheep is an excellent resource for pastors and elders. Anderson describes the “essence of spiritual leadership” as “sheep following a shepherd because they know and trust him." The book as a whole is wonderful, but I want to look closely at his discussion on authority in regard to [...]
Answering the Call
By: Dwight Reynolds | October 22, 2014
I was set on majoring in graphic design when I got to college, but as I was talking with a friend who was about to graduate, he told me about his own call from God to be a pastor. Suddenly, I felt the Holy Spirit burst onto the scene, pulling me in that same direction. [...]
A Warrior Priesthood Is Essential: Really? - Part 3
By: Francis H. Geis | October 22, 2014
In Part 1 and Part 2, I introduced why Alastair Roberts' view that an all-male "warrior priesthood" is essential is both non-biblical and illogical and looked specifically at the context of this in the creation story in Genesis 1 and 2. Today, we examine how the Bible supports unity and mutuality among men and women, which can only be [...]
What Does "Different" Mean? Only that "The Means Are Different"
By: Justin Miller | October 20, 2014
What does it mean exactly to say that men and women are different, and is there a framework that guides the way we draw implications from the difference between male and female?
