Book Review: Coming of Age: Exploring the Identity and Spirituality of Younger Men
By: Craighton Hippenhammer | December 5, 2006
Coming of Age is a result of the Young Male Spirituality Project, a joint effort of Lutheran Men in Mission, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Luther Seminary (St. Paul, Minn.) to find out why young men are staying away from the church in droves, a pattern that surveys are showing is increasingly alarming.
Mystery - A Defense of Mutual Submission within Marriage
By: Trevor Sykes | November 17, 2006
In that classic Bible passage on marriage (Eph. 5:21-33) so often used, or alluded to in the marriage ceremony, the narrative closes with the admonition, "this is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the Church are one." (vs. 32 NLB) The mystery would appear to be, from the preceding [...]

By: Guest Author | November 14, 2006
Brad Wilcox is at it again. Chrisitanity Today interviewed him regarding his new sociological study, "What's Love Got to Do with It? Equality, Equity, Commitment, and Women's Marital Quality."

Created in God's image
By: Liz Sykes | November 10, 2006
The Bible records that humans were made in God's image and however we try to describe what that "looks" like, there can only be one image. God is not fragmented or divided into two "equal but different" parts. God is one God and we have been created to be like God. This surely is a [...]
Does it Really Mean "Helpmate"?
By: Guest Author | November 1, 2006

The Biblical Basis for Women’s Service in the Church
By: N. T. Wright | October 31, 2006
Misreadings of NT passages are undoubtedly due to a combination of assumptions, traditions, and all kinds of post-biblical and sub-biblical attitudes that have crept in to Christianity. We need to change our understanding of what the Bible says about how men and women are to relate to one another within the church.
Chapter 16 in Paul’s Letter to the Romans: Dispensable Tagalong or Valuable Envelope?
By: Mark Reasoner | October 31, 2006
Like an envelope in which we seal a postal letter to a loved one, Romans 16 lets us know that real people, including women leaders, those with slave backgrounds, and those both with and without Jewish connections, were meant to hear and benefit from this letter.
Head Over Heels: A Theology of Leadership in Christian Marriage
By: Elaine Heath | October 31, 2006
Whatever we might say about headship in Christian marriage, the indisputable teaching and example of Jesus, and the broader context of the teaching of the epistles about the meaning of discipleship, is one of self-giving love
