The Spiritual June Cleaver
By: Guest Author | September 16, 2006
Salon has an article on Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill Church. I was so sad after reading this article. In short they've taken the post-WW2 culture, and they are trying to make it biblical.Following Driscoll's biblical reading of prescribed gender roles, women quit their jobs and try to have as many babies as possible. And [...]
Gender as a Weapon
By: Guest Author | September 15, 2006
Two weeks ago, the story of Mary Lambert became major national news. The audacity of firing an older woman from her long held position as Sunday school teacher based on her gender angered many. Since the initial report, the church and the pastor have tried to give a fuller picture of the situation. Conflict between [...]
The Importance of History
By: Guest Author | September 13, 2006
I've been reading the recent issue of Priscilla Papers (Summer 2006). I have been struck by both Catherine Clark Kroeger and Philip B. Bayne's use of history in their respective articles on 1 Corinthians 11. In Kroeger's article she is looking at what kephalē, "head," means in 1 Corinthians 11:3: "But I want you to understand that Christ is the [...]
Evangelical Feminism: A New Path to Liberalism?
By: Wayne Grudem | September 13, 2006
By critically examining the writings of egalitarians, Grudem shows that, while egalitarian leaders claim to be subject to scripture in their thinking, what is increasingly evident in their actual scholarship and practice is an effective rejection of the authority of scripture.
"A Genius of a Woman"
By: Martha Ann Kirk | September 5, 2006
Without the work of a generous widow, millions of people may have gone without a good translation of the Bible for centuries. This woman had a profound hunger for the word of God, boundless care for the needy, courage to cross cultural boundaries based on gender, ethnicity, and class, and gospel vision to put the [...]
It's a Long Road
By: Beulah Wood | September 5, 2006
The ups and downs of being a woman in ministry continue. Not many people want a woman to teach homiletics, despite the fact that my students love my classes. I am beginning to do more teaching and writing on the equality of women and men in Asia.
Not Without Hope
By: Harman Clark | September 5, 2006
On July 6, 2003, Jane Randall Hess Clark, my wife of 46 years, died of a brain tumor, eleven months after diagnosis. She received the best medical treatment and home care therapies available.
Never Alone
By: David Claydon | September 5, 2006
I can see so clearly the contrast between the Islamic theological stance, which is totally legal and which categorizes a range of people, and the Biblical stance, which is one of relationships. Men and women are empowered equally by God’s Holy Spirit such that if the church maximizes the use of these gifts the [...]
Lessons from Hannah
By: John Hippe, DesAnne Hippe | September 5, 2006
Adoption was our first choice for bringing children into our family. The decision to adopt our daughter Hannah from China was strongly influenced by John’s experience as a missionary in China as well as China’s reputation for having a stable adoption process.
Focus on Adoptive Families
September 5, 2006
My prayer for all adopted children and their parents is that they would come to rest in the knowledge of God’s care in their lives, even in the times when it isn’t immediately apparent. It does not come early or easily…but it is worth it.
