Women Crossing Borders
By: Cheri Pierson | October 16, 2013
On December 11, 2005, eight Youth with a Mission staff workers were killed in a tragic road accident outside Port Hourcourt, Nigeria. One of those lost, Brianna Esswein, was a graduate of Wheaton Graduate School’s Intercultural Studies Department. My book Women Crossing Borders is dedicated to her memory. Four days before the accident, Brianna expressed her [...]
Do the Five Love Languages Love Women Too? (Part 1 of 2)
By: Ashleigh Bailey | October 15, 2013
I haven’t thought much about Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages in a long time, but recently my Family Life Education class did a presentation on this subject. I tend to see most evangelical book empires of that sort as an attempt by publishers to cash in on an author’s popularity, and [...]
Busy at Home?
By: Margaret Mowczko | October 11, 2013
Some Christians in westernised countries seem to long for an earlier time when most women stayed out of the workforce and stayed at home. Some of these Christians even believe that the Bible teaches that the woman’s primary domain is private, in the home, caring for her husband and children – the presumption being that [...]
Practicing What Is Preached Abroad
By: Shirley Taylor | October 9, 2013
Our government advocates human rights and female equality while Christian America often teaches female submission and carries that message across the world.Women in the United States have freedoms that are denied women in most countries, but many churches are telling women something very different! Yet, freedoms should be promoted inside the church. Many people [...]
Empowering the Marginalized to Serve God
By: Olivia Brown | October 7, 2013
As I continue to listen, research, and learn more about human sexuality and the differences that characterize men and women, I have noticed, as many have, a particular theme that tends to marginalize many good men and women who fail to fit our “biblically” prescribed gender roles and characteristics.
The CEB Study Bible
October 5, 2013
The CEB Study Bible gives you the tools, illustrations, and explanations necessary for making informed decisions about the meaning of the Bible. The notes in this study Bible don't tell you what to believe. Instead, they give you the context for what the books of the Bible meant to their earliest readers and what the [...]
Bold Girls Speak: Girls of the Bible Come Alive Today

Bold Girls Speak inspires girls to go boldly where God calls. This collection of Old and New Testament short stories follows smart, problem-solving girls who persevere and thrive with God's help in difficult circumstances. Each story is accompanied by age-appropriate commentary and discussion questions appropriate for classes, mother-daughter groups, home-schoolers, and Christian schools, as well [...]
Why (Most) Complementarians Should Be Pacifists
By: David C. Cramer | October 3, 2013
Note that the contextual argument is precisely what (most) complementarians reject when used by egalitarians to understand the first passage above. These complementarians argue that the plain reading outweighs the contextual argument. Indeed, as I have discussed elsewhere (see here andhere), some complementarians argue that using the contextual argument against the plain reading undermines biblical [...]
Thoughts on Lean In
By: Myrna Grant | October 2, 2013
Does anybody remember those big apple-green lapel pins, “I am a simple, Bible-believing Christian feminist?” I still have mine in my jewelry drawer, a seventies souvenir. If I wore it today on my Christian college campus, I suspect my fellow academics would look askance at such a retrograde claim, labeling “feminist” as yesterday’s word, [...]
He Didn’t Have To. He Chose To.
By: Jeff Miller | September 29, 2013
I recently had the privilege of spending several days in Rome. Among many important sites, the most interesting to me was the ruins of Rome’s ancient harbor city, Ostia (you can take a virtual visit here: http://www.ostia-antica.org/). One standard feature of Greco-Roman cities which is plainly visible at Ostia is the [...]
