The Culpability of the Church—When Silence is not "Golden"
By: Anne O. Weatherholt | October 26, 2011
One out of every three persons sitting in the pews or chairs in your church on Sunday morning is or has been a victim of domestic violence or knows someone who is currently facing violence. But despite this, domestic violence is one of the greatest sins we never talk about in church. Those who are [...]
An Egalitarian Examination of "Courageous" the Movie
By: Megan Greulich | October 23, 2011
(Movie spoiler alert!)First off, Courageous (the most recent movie release from Sherwood Baptist Church, the makers of Fireproof) is far from a terrible movie. There are very funny scenes. The characters wrestle with real life struggles. It resists the hyper-sexualization of females that runs rampant in Hollywood movies. It touts important values like integrity, [...]
Glimpsing Eve
By: Emily Nielsen Jones | October 19, 2011
This year, as I have traveled around the globe, I have also traveled within the female psyche—my own and that of others who have let me in. What is most on my mind, as I reflect on these travels, is the wounded but beautiful face of Eve.
A Protestant-Specific Argument for Egalitarianism
By: David C. Cramer | October 15, 2011
I believe that it is inconsistent for one to be a strong complementarian and a Protestant at the same time. Complementarians often hold that, though women can be involved in various forms of ministry, they cannot become "ordained ministers." But consider the following simple argument:

Pictures of a battered and bruised Taylor Armstrong (star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) are circulating in the media, once again demonstrating that wealth, beauty, and celebrity are no match for male domination. What do Armstrong and women around the world have in common? They have all suffered the negative impact of patriarchy in [...]
Exciting News
By: Jenny Rae Armstrong | October 10, 2011
On Friday, three women were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their commitment to women’s rights. Two of those women, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee, were from Liberia, the country I called home for most of my elementary school years.
A Matter of Justice: My Journey Toward Gender Equality
By: Lance Robinson | October 5, 2011
I began to struggle with my "soft" complementarianism. It seemed that no matter how I tried to slice it, spin it, or soften it; at the end of the day, however much the gap was minimized, women remained inferior to men.
2011 NIV Bible

The New International Version is the world's most popular modern English Bible translation. Developed by Biblica, formerly the International Bible Society, the New International Version is the result of years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, overseeing the efforts of many contributing scholars. The translators are drawn from a wide range of denominations [...]
Voices
By: Guest Author | September 30, 2011
As children, we are unfamiliar with our voices. We don’t always know what to say, how to carry expression, and what volume to use when talking. When I was young, adults told me that there are two kinds of voices: an “outside” and “inside” one. It was not until I was older that I [...]
Rahab the Innkeeper
By: Aliyah Jacobs | September 28, 2011
The Hebrew word zonah which describes Rahab's "occupation" was often interpreted not only as harlot, but also as an inn-keeper or tavern-keeper. This information helped enlarge my perspective on the person of Rahab, and my searching led to further study.
