The Subjection of Women: A feminist appraisal of John Stuart Mill’s last work
By: Kamilla Ludwig | October 31, 2002

Book Review: Women in the Church
By: Cheryl L. Kester | July 31, 2002
Carroll Osburn's second edition of Women in the Church is a welcome contribution to the ongoing conversation on this topic, and he has reworked the book to take advantage of new developments and research. It feels like a textbook, but nonstudents will still glean valuable insights.
Book Review: Cultural of Analysis: Slaves, Women, and Homosexuals
By: Joseph B. Modica | July 31, 2002
Slaves, Women and Homosexuals is a hermeneutical tour de force.

Swartley's Slavery, Sabbath, War & Women) rather than a step-by-step methodology.

What About the “Gender Accurate” TNIV?
By: John R. Kohlenberger III | April 30, 2002
King-James-Only advocates have taken a personal preference, elevated it to a theological absolute, and used it to divide liberals from conservatives, believers from unbelievers, servants of God from minions of Satan.

By: Arlyn Janssen | March 5, 2002

Book Review: Women of Influence: Women of Devotion Through the Centuries
By: Evelyn Bence | January 31, 2002
Forbes now is in secular academia, teaching rhetoric in writing, and she's turned her research attention to selected women who have unwittingly wielded a great deal of influence if not power, particularly in the twentieth century: devotional writers or compilers.
Book Review: Feminist Theology Through the Ages: Why We're Equal
By: Joseph B. Modica | January 31, 2002
Val Webb has written an engaging, readable, and mostly historical approach to feminist theology. Her thesis is straightforward and often restated: "The goal of this book is to look at the diversity of the feminist movement and show how limited and inaccurate negative stereotyping is."
Book Review: Two Views on Women in Ministry
By: Julia Bloom | December 6, 2001
“God is not an equal opportunity employer.” “God is an equal opportunity employer.” These antithetical statements come from the two authors representing the complementarian view in Two Views on Women in Ministry, a new book in Stanley N. Gundry’s “Counterpoints” series.
