CBE and the Doctrine of the Trinity
By: Kevin Giles | October 30, 2011
Not only do we reject any subordination in being and authority in the eternal life of God, but we also question the argument that divine relations in heaven should prescribe or model the man/woman or husband/wife relationship on earth.
Book Review: Submission within the Godhead and the Church in the Epistle to the Philippians
By: Alan G. Padgett | July 31, 2011
This is a stimulating monograph on a key text in New Testament Christology. Park fully justifies her claim that an ethic of submission is found in Philippians, even though the word is not used by Paul. She is right to see both soteriology and ethics at work in these passages.
The Deception of Eve and the Ontology of Women
By: CBE International | November 1, 2010
A special CBE publication developed for members of the Evangelical Theological Society, this journal offers a biblical, theological, and practical challenge to the idea that women are inferior at the level of being and should therefore hold roles of submission to men.
Is Women’s Leadership in the Church a “Primary Issue”?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2010
If you’ve been a passionate egalitarian for any length of time, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Yes, the egalitarian position is biblically sound, but it is not a 'primary issue!'”
Does God Have Gender?
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | April 30, 2010
When it comes to God’s gender, we can find a variety of perspectives. For some, God is male or masculine, and this view then seems to affect the self-understanding of males and females. For others, God may be viewed as female or feminine, and this view seems then to affect the self-understanding of [...]
Book Review: Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes
By: Cynthia Long Westfall | January 31, 2010
Both scholars and laypeople will appreciate the way that Bailey brings biblical episodes to life and provides new focuses and perspectives in the stories. In a way, his description of parables as extended metaphors reflects the contribution of his entire book. Bailey has effectively permitted us to take up residence in a Middle Eastern house [...]
Destined to Cause the Falling and Rising of Many
By: John R. Kohlenberger III | September 5, 2009
Simeon’s statement to Mary at Jesus’ circumcision, “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel” (Luke 2:34), is a lens through which we can view Jesus’ encounters with people. Jesus humbled the proud, the rich, and the powerful.
Engendering the Imago Dei: How Christ Grounds Our Lives as Parables of the Divine Image
By: Elizabeth McLaughlin | April 30, 2009
Instead of reinforcing and codifying gender inequity as God’s plan, the Genesis narrative affirms the sacred nature of all human life, making our lives and actions living parables of God’s grace, as evidenced by the mutuality of men and women.
Gender and Justice in the New Testament
By: Alan F. Johnson | January 30, 2009
The topic of gender and justice in the New Testament raises two preliminary questions: First, what modern sense of “justice” and of “gender” is closest to the intent of New Testament writers, and, second, how was gender related to justice in Greco-Roman society?
Ontology, Gender, and Women's Authority in the Church: Noticing the Particulars
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 1, 2007
In this lecture, Hadadd asks: what does the church imply about women's ontology. She explains the three most common views about women, ontology, and authority in the church today before explaining the meaning of ontology. Finally, she traces the church's view of women, ontology, and authority throughout the years, from the early church to the 1900 [...]
