Book Review: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen's A Sword Between the Sexes? C.S. Lewis and the Gender Debates
By: Judith A. Diehl | April 30, 2012
It is interesting that we feel as if we know an author because we have read and appreciated many of his or her books. In my case, I have read and enjoyed numerous writings by British author C. S. Lewis, yet I have never fully understood many of his views. Certainly, over years of reading [...]
Book Review: Junia is Not Alone
By: Liz Sykes | March 5, 2012
McKnight's passion for this subject may surprise some readers, but he perceives this silencing of women as a deep injustice which has been perpetuated up to the present time.
Book Review: Mark and Grace Driscoll's Real Marriage
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2012
It's ironic that even the Driscolls have learned through experience that the more egalitarian they are, the better their relationship. But, like many Christian writers on marriage, they haven't yet taken the step of fully embracing what Scripture, prayer, and experience confirm as true.
Book Review: Mae Elise Cannon's Social Justice Handbook
By: Chip M. Anderson | January 31, 2012
In the Social Justice Handbook, I identified with the passion Cannon has for social justice and the burden she has for drawing others to engage in compassion and action to address the issues and causes of injustice and poverty.

Book Review: Nancy Hedberg's Women, Men, and the Trinity
By: William David Spencer | October 31, 2011
This very accessible book is an excellent place to start one's exploration into what has come to be called the "New Subordinationism" in current evangelical discussions of the Trinity. Author Nancy Hedberg, who is vice president for student life at Corban University in Salem, Oregon, is accustomed to communicating with young college students and brings [...]
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.
