Their Broken Bodies: Mary and Jesus
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 13, 2019

Mary
By: Keren Dibbens-Wyatt | December 13, 2019

My Soul Rejoices: Empowerment, Prophecy, and Luke’s Gospel
By: Sarah Hardman | December 13, 2019

By: Julie Walsh | October 31, 2019
This article has shown that the Gen 3:15 Edenic covenant began in the Garden with the woman. It was then initially fulfilled with Deborah and Jael in Judg 4 and 5. Indeed, the Jael story actualizes the Gen 3:15 promise.
