Saving Women from the Church: How Jesus Mends a Divide
By: Susan McLeod-Harrison | February 20, 2008
Straightforward, unapologetic, and engaging, Saving Women from the Church shows how Jesus offers hope and healing to women who have been alienated, wounded, controlled, or troubled by the church.
God of Sarah, Rebekah, and Ruth
By: Mindy Withrow | February 15, 2008
I got used to hearing Scripture readings and having to internally translate “man” to “humanity” or “people;” to seeing women behind the piano but not the pulpit or conducting the children’s choir but not the adult musicians.
"I No Longer Live, But Christ Lives in Me"
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 6, 2008
To what extent does Christ's completed work on Calvary redeem all of life, and all of our relationships? If, as Scripture teaches, knowing Christ changes everything, should we expect and anticipate the power of the cross to renew our relationships as Christians? The early evangelicals asked similar questions—questions they answered with a high view [...]
No Time for Silence
By: Janette Hassey | February 1, 2008
Debate over women's public ministry tends to focus on biblical and theological issues without grappling with the historical questions. Janette Hassey counters the popular but misleading claim that evangelical feminism (the movement for women's equality rooted in Scripture and evangelical Christian faith) is simply an accommodation to recent secular feminist and theologically liberal movements for [...]
A Comparison of Husband and Wife to Christ and Church
By: Liz Sykes | January 31, 2008
I am amazed that the small part of Ephesians 5 which is translated "as Christ is head of the church" is extended and explained so that a husband is compared to Christ in so many ways.What is a simple comparison of the type of care which a husband is encouraged to give becomes in some [...]
Book Review: Climbing the Dragon's Ladder
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | January 31, 2008
In a time when wealth and prosperity are more welcomed than the cost of discipleship, Climbing the Dragon's Ladder is a timely historical novel. No greater identification can be made about the cost involved in persevering as a Christian than identifying with a martyr such as Perpetua. Andrea Lorenzo Molinari, president of Blessed Edmund Rice [...]
Editor's Reflections | Winter 2008 (22.1)
By: William David Spencer | January 30, 2008
Eighteen hundred years ago, a cell group of Christians was arrested during the persecution of a.d. 202–203 that accompanied a brief stopover at Rome of the pugnacious Roman emperor Lucius Septimius Severus. At Antioch on January 1, 202, Severus had declared his son Bassianus (nicknamed “Caracalla,” or “greatcoat” for the military outfit he habitually wore) joint [...]
Women Martyrs in the Early Church
By: Andrea Lorenzo Molinari | January 30, 2008
It is no secret that the vast majority of the voices that speak to us from the days of the early church are male. Early church history is filled with stories of famous martyr-bishops such as Ignatius of Antioch (d. ca. a.d. 107–8), Polycarp of Smyrna (d. ca. a.d. 156), and Cyprian of Carthage (d. [...]
Morphing Mary
By: Kristin Johnson | January 30, 2008
In the time of Herod, king of Judea, a young Jewish girl gave birth to a child who would change the course of history. What is mentioned of her in Scripture is significant, yet, throughout the centuries, the identity and person of Mary has been elaborated upon by Catholics and often overlooked by [...]
Equality and Pastoral Rule
By: Whit Trumbull | January 30, 2008
Gregory the Great clearly expressed a belief in fundamental human equality. This required him to offer some explanation, if only to himself, of his position at the top of the thoroughly hierarchical social and ecclesiastical authority structure of the sixth century. While his biographers have made his difficulty in accepting his episcopal calling well [...]
