Womb Currency
By: Charity Kroeker | June 5, 2013
A womb, the currency of the day. Trade. Hagar’s womb: tilled soil. Gentile, slave, used and thrown away.
In the Midst of the Mess: Hagar and the God Who Sees
By: Amy R. Buckley | June 5, 2013
Ultimately, Hagar’s story is more than the story of a slave and her son. It is a story of God’s care for those who have no earthly hope.
The Shame of the Unnamed Women of the Old Testament
By: Margaret Mowczko | June 5, 2013
Through my Western eyes, the nameless women once seemed unimportant—as if they were not valuable or had been overlooked. But the Old Testament authors realized that God engaged some women as individuals, and that the actions and words of these women were noteworthy and important—important enough to be included in Holy Scripture.
When a Woman's Love is Fierce
By: J. Lee Grady | June 5, 2013

Why CBE Matters
By: Patricia Warford | June 5, 2013
I must admit that if someone told me about Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) when I first came to know Christ, I would not have understood the need for such an organization.

Historically, women have comprised more than two-thirds of the missionary work force for well over a century now, yet their contributions remain almost completely unknown. In a world where their contributions have been [...]
Book Review: The Hidden History of Women's Ordination: Female Clergy in the Medieval World
By: Linda Lawler | June 1, 2013
Dr. Macy’s book is a scholarly one that will appeal to academics and theologians. He includes two appendices with copies, in Latin, of the prayers and ordination rites for deaconesses and abbesses. In his conclusion he expresses his hope that the evidence for the ordination of women in the early Middle Ages will provoke [...]
An Unexpected Role Model
By: Tim Krueger | May 29, 2013
I recently heard a sermon delivered by Dr. Peter T. Vogt, a professor of Old Testament at Bethel Seminary in Saint Paul, MN. In it, he shared some insights about the story of Naomi and Ruth. With his permission, I have summarized some of them here.
One Illustration – Two Points
By: Jeff Miller | May 22, 2013

This professor, also a long-time minister and volunteer hospital chaplain, had been called upon to be a pastoral presence in two contrasting yet related situations: first, as a new mother promptly parted with [...]
