The Church, Sexuality, and Eating Disorders
By: Cissy Brady-Rogers | January 30, 2007
The struggles of Christian women with sexuality, food, and their bodies reflect the Church’s historic ambivalence towards the body—particularly the female body. The embodiment of God in the Incarnation, Jesus’ embrace of lepers, prostitutes, and women, and Jesus’ bodily resurrection establish a radical foundation of body affirmation. Yet the history of the Church [...]
Editor's Reflections | Winter 2006 (21.1)
By: William David Spencer | January 30, 2007
Reporting a conversation he had with Martin Luther between April 7 and May 1, 1532, John Schlaginhaufen quoted the great reformer as contending: Christ was an adulterer for the first time with the woman at the well, for it was said, “Nobody knows what he’s doing with her” (John 4:27).

This article will trace themes of alienation and identification to show that the integrity of the sons of [...]
The Discipleship of Women
By: J. Lyle Story | January 30, 2007
In recent years, much discussion has centered upon the role of women disciples as they encounter the person of Jesus. The word “disciple” (mathētēs), related to the verb “learn, study, practice” (manthanō), means “the one who directs his mind to something,” often in the sense of a learner, apprentice, or pupil. In [...]
Two Gardens
By: Lucy Lincoln | January 30, 2007
We have often heard sermons on the story of Peter’s three denials followed by Jesus’ three questions to him. Somewhere on a gravelly beach of Galilee, Jesus spoke with Peter: “Do you love Me? . . . Feed My sheep.” Nowhere does Scripture explain to us that the disciple’s three admissions, “Lord, You know that [...]

The Image of God and Sexuality
By: Guest Author | January 18, 2007
There is a very disturbing thing going on to encourage abstinence among Christian teenagers and children. It started with Purity Balls' "a memorable ceremony for daughters to pledge commitments to purity and their fathers to pledge commitments to protect their girls." I could not find the pledge the daughters make on their website, but here [...]
