Book Review: Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes
By: Cynthia Long Westfall | January 31, 2010
Both scholars and laypeople will appreciate the way that Bailey brings biblical episodes to life and provides new focuses and perspectives in the stories. In a way, his description of parables as extended metaphors reflects the contribution of his entire book. Bailey has effectively permitted us to take up residence in a Middle Eastern house [...]
Challenging Assumptions and Errors One Book at a Time
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 13, 2010
Do you consider books your best friends? Do you remember reading your first book on biblical equality? The early books sold by CBE were few in number.

Book Review: Margaret Köstenberger's Jesus and the Feminists
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | October 31, 2009
Even though Köstenberger claims to supply the reader with the "facts" (16), and to employ a "listening hermeneutic" (119, 220, 229), and not elevate ideology over Scripture (119), claiming to have no "presupposed notions" (183), in reality what she does herself is analyze feminists' writings about Jesus through the theological framework of gender defined by the Council of Biblical Manhood [...]
Book Review: Mignon R. Jacob's Gender, Power, and Persuasion
By: Jordan Easley | October 31, 2009
In Gender, Power, and Persuasion, Mignon Jacobs examines the ancient Genesis narratives with fresh insight and clarity. She weaves together both a faithful identification of key texts and a modern "multicritical" analysis of those texts. Indeed, this book is particularly relevant for egalitarians looking for different methodologies to address the gender issues of the familiar [...]
Changing the World Through Gentleness and Scholarship: An Interview with Scot McKnight
By: Jane Spriggs | September 5, 2009
At its core, The Blue Parakeet is a book about biblical interpretation. McKnight upholds the authority of Scripture, seeing the Bible as God’s story—a story which God tells us so “we can enter into a relationship with him, listen to him, and live out his Word in our day and in our ways."
Book Review: William and Aída Spencer and Steve and Celestia Tracy's Marriage at the Crossroads
By: Alice Mathews | July 31, 2009
Many of us have longed for a sane, nuanced conversation around differing viewpoints on gender issues in marriage. The Spencers and Tracys have given us that conversation in this fine book.
Book Review: Laceye Warner's Saving Women: Retrieving Evangelistic Theology and Practice
By: John Lommel | July 31, 2009
The church's patriarchal past (and present) is notorious for hiding and diluting the work of women for the kingdom of God. Laceye C. Warner removes the shadow from the evangelistic work of seven women from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in her book Saving Women: Retrieving Evangelistic Theology and Practice.
Book Review: Margaret English's Removing the Veil
By: John P. Lathrop | April 30, 2009
Removing the Veil was written to affirm the place of women in God's economy. Author Margaret English gives special attention to the subject of women in ministry and maintains that women should be permitted full participation in ministry on an equal basis with men. The author draws from Scripture, her own personal testimony, and facts [...]
Book Review: Luke Reynold's A New Man
By: Matthew Gemmill | March 15, 2009
Drawing from his own experience of pornography addiction, Reynolds calls men, in his book A New Man, to reject any conception of masculinity that sees porn use as a natural—or, even worse, an essential—part of being a man.

The book is suitable for individual and group studies, but it [...]
