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."

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.

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 [...]
Book Review: Jackson Katz's The Macho Paradox
By: Steven R. Tracy | January 30, 2009
Violence against women is an ugly reality in our fallen world. And the more one studies this subject and the more one listens to women, the uglier it gets. This makes The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help a particularly welcome addition to the literature on male violence [...]

By: Ryan Snyder | December 5, 2008
Thanks to Austin Stouffer's new book 95 More for the Door—egalitarians can turn the "general theme of Scripture" argument on its head and prove the Bible is actually overflowing with pleas for equality.
