Book Review: Shattering Our Assumptions
By: Frances Hiebert | April 30, 1996
The purpose of the book is to give perspective on the rapidly changing and diverse roles for Christian women. It addresses both cultural stereotypes and traditional Christian assumptions. The authors, however, come to their subject from different vantage points.
Book Review: What's Right With Feminism
By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | October 31, 1995
As Christian women confront the complex (and often negative) baggage carried by the word "feminist" today, these women can often feel ill-equipped to sort out the many social and theological issues regarding women's roles.
The Scandal Of The (Male) Evangelical Mind
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | July 31, 1995
The scandal of the evangelical mind, Mark Noll tells us, “is that there is not much of an evangelical mind." The reasons he lists for this are many, and include evangelical over-emphasis on the emotionally-charged experience of conversion, an overly-populist approach to evangelism, a preoccupation with personal sanctification to the exclusion of concern for creation, [...]
Book Review: The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | July 31, 1995
The scandal of the evangelical mind, Mark Noll tells us, "is that there is not much of an evangelical mind" (p.3). The reasons he lists for this are many, and include evangelical over-emphasis on the emotionally-charged experience of conversion, an overly-populist approach to evangelism, a preoccupation with personal sanctification to the exclusion of concern for [...]
Book Review: Women in the Church: A Fresh Analysis of 1 Timothy 2:9-15
By: John E. Stanley | April 30, 1995
Women in the Church is a dangerous book which should not have been published because, while it appears to be scholarly, it actually teems with historical and theological errors and also emotional subjectivity. Alan G. Padgett has provided a critical rebuttal to Women in the Church in the Winter 1997 issue of Priscilla Papers.
Book Review: I Suffer Not a Woman
By: W. Harold Fuller | July 31, 1993
Until now, this reviewer had to acknowledge he simply did not understand Paul's statement: "I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man" (1Tim 2:12). No explanation rang scripturally true: e.g. "rabbinical male bias" or "a local cultural problem." Exceptions for women teaching or preaching ("only occasionally" or "under male [...]
One Christian's Commentary on Two Contemporary Secular Best Sellers
By: Joanne Callahan | January 31, 1993
These two best-sellers helped turn many apolitical women into activists, and contributed to recent impressive female gains in both the United Stales Senate and the House of Representatives. My question is: How should biblical egalitarians respond to these two works? Answers may not be as obvious as some think.
Book Review: No Time for Silence: Evangelical Women in Public Ministry Around the Turn of the Century
By: CBE International | July 31, 1991
Chosen as one of ETERNITY magazine's best books of the year in 1987, this book encourages women to use their gifts fully in proclaiming the Gospel. Dr. Hassey presents the significant contributions made by American women engaged in public ministry in past years, and who were enthusiastically supported by such institutions as Moody Bible Institute.
Book Review: Beyond the Curse: Women Called to Ministry
By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 31, 1991
Subtitled "Women Called to Ministry," Dr. Spencer's book presents a new look at Scripture's description of women's roles. She writes, "Whole dimensions of God, ministry, education and theology are being obscured and ignored if women are not properly trained, then invited, even more so welcomed, to participate as significant and affirmed once they do lead."
Book Review: Call Me Blessed: The Emerging Christian Woman
By: Libbie Brooks | April 30, 1991
Martin provides us with an historical context for the issue of women's roles in the church. She begins by tracing the patterns of male authority in both Old and New Testaments. She also describe some of the more contemporary views on submission of women, and continues with a chapter on how we have actually made [...]
