By: William David Spencer | October 31, 2012
This book addresses a topic within the Godhead that cuts across the lines of gender conviction and unites egalitarians and hierarchists on both sides of the debate.

By: Olga Soler | October 31, 2012
This small book (75 pages) elucidates a great present-day adversary to biblical justice and equality: patriarchy. The book is written for the Body of Christ.

The Seed of the Woman Will Be Victorious
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | October 30, 2012

The Birthing Spirit, the Childbearing God
By: Beth M. Stovell | October 30, 2012
Within evangelical circles, much discussion is centered on the role of God as Father. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, God is depicted frequently with this paternal metaphor.1 Yet, one should not overlook that God is also depicted with maternal metaphors.

A new fleshing out of the bare bones of marital oneness can foster health within Christian marriages by exploring biblical matrimonial ideals. Based on the [...]
