Can the Mosaic Law Be Reconciled With Gender Equality?
By: Cheri Williams | August 2, 2014
Are the Bible and gender equality so antithetical that one’s only hope to reconcile them is by stripping divine inspiration from the Bible, arguing that it is a book written by humans concerning their perspective of God over time? I believe affirming the divinity of the Bible will prove far more fruitful in incorporating [...]
On Submitting to One Another
By: Paul Adams | April 2, 2014
The idea of submission is neither a cultural norm nor an accepted virtue. The human heart, untouched by God’s grace in salvation, naturally wants things its way and the voice of culture screams to us at every turn that getting what we want is most important.
Egalitarian Narrative in Scripture
By: Ruth Correll | January 29, 2014
A close reading of the Bible reveals patterns of doublet and parallel stories that bring attention and esteem to each gender. In fact, when compared to the sacred literature of other religions, the Bible provides an astounding representation of both men and women. Let's take a look at some examples.
Galatians 3:28: Our Identity in Christ and in the Church
By: Margaret Mowczko | January 5, 2014

By: CBE International | December 31, 2013

The emphasis is communion, a unity of purpose that links hands and hearts as full members of the team. It stresses full participation, sharing in both the risks and the benefits of the enterprise: " [...]
An Evangelical Tradition
By: CBE International | November 1, 2013
In this special edition journal prepared for the 2013 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, several scholars examine the historical basis for egalitarianism within evangelicalism.
The Authority of the Bible and the Authority of the Theological Tradition
By: Kevin Giles | October 31, 2013
What the creeds and confessions teach is called “the theological tradition,” or “the interpretative tradition,” or just “the tradition.” Evangelicals agree this codified body of prescribed doctrines is a subordinate authority. Scripture is the ultimate authority. This is true, yet, in practice, these two authorities cannot be sharply separated.
An Examination of Jesus’s View of Women through Three Intercalations in the Gospel of Mark
By: David E. Malick | July 31, 2013
This study will examine three passages involving women in Mark’s gospel—in Mark 3, 5, and 14—all of which are undisputed in terms of significant lexicography, grammar, or relevant gender theology. As clearer passages, they form part of a greater foundation to the theology of gender studies.
