Book Review: The TNIV Bible
By: Joanne Nystrom Janssen, Arlyn Janssen | June 5, 2005
Instead of communicating to young men and women that they are gifted for service to God and joined as partners in that ministry, they reinforce stereotypes of women as focused on marriage and family and men as interested in career and financial security.
Book Review: Women and Ministry: What the Bible Teaches
By: Christiane Carlson-Theis | April 30, 2005
Dr. Dan Doriani has written Women and Ministry to provide a biblical defense for traditional churches that exclude women from official teaching and leadership offices within their congregations. However, his other objective in writing this book is to show that change is necessary.

By: Andrea Cumbo Dowdy | December 5, 2004

Book Review: Tracing God's Women from Genesis to the New Testament: God's Women Then and Now
By: Alvera Mickelsen | September 5, 2004
The authors trace the hand of God on women from Genesis through the New Testament. They confront long-held traditions, prejudices, and assumptions with a loving, non-judgmental spirit that makes it possible for readers to examine their own beliefs without being threatened.
Book Review: Roman Wives, Roman Widows: The Appearance of New Women and Pauline Communities
By: Kevin Giles | June 30, 2004
Based on my reading, Winter in each instance seems to interpret key texts in dispute in a way completely in sympathy with the hierarchical-complementarian agenda. If his exegesis were compelling we would need to listen, but it is not.
Book Review: A Match Made in Heaven: How Singles and the Church can Live Happily Ever After
By: Patricia D. Kissell | June 5, 2004
Throughout the book, Widder asserts that today's church is broken when it comes to singleness. But she holds both singles and the church responsible for not treating each other with respect and dignity.
The Trinity in the Gospel of John : A Thematic Commentary on the Fourth Gospel
By: Royce Gordon Gruenler | April 8, 2004
Gruenler explores something he calls disposability. Father, Son, and Spirit are there for the other—servants who place themselves at the other person's disposal in an act of total generosity.
