Book Review: Daughters of Islam: Building Bridges with Muslim Women
By: Shirley L. Barron | December 5, 2002
Daughters of Islam: Building Bridges with Muslim Women is a wonderfully relevant book for Christians who have little knowledge of Islam or the people who subscribe to it. This book helps readers peer into the hearts of Muslim women, to perceive what they feel and think, and to understand how they live.
SBC Rules Challenge Japanese Baptist Women: Women pastors and ministers express their concerns to the Southern Baptist Convention president
By: Yori Ito | October 31, 2002
Following is the response of Japanese Baptist women to recent actions of the SBC concerning the role of women in that denomination. They express their appreciation for Baptist international missions and the history of its influence in Asia. But they also speak candidly on their views about what the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message says about [...]
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. Webb severs ties with traditional hermeneutical textbooks by offering intra-scriptural and extrascriptural criteria and a case study approach (akin to W. M. Swartley's Slavery, Sabbath, War & Women) rather than a step-by-step methodology.
Lurching Toward the Goal: Mars and Venus ought to revolve around the same Son
By: James D. Berkley | January 31, 2002
Sometimes, in the midst of this pleasant change, women and men have been set against one another, as if we were enemies rather than allies, competitors rather than teammates, aliens rather than fit companions. That grieves me. I’m sure that grieves God.

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 6, 2001
Only one week after September 11, few were willing to board a plane. While most cancelled travel plans, three CBE staff members headed to Houston for the Global Celebration for Women. We offered a biblical basis for women’s Christian service to 10,000 women from 156 nations.
Women Celebrate Female Contributions to God’s Kingdom
By: Joanne Nystrom Janssen | December 5, 2001
For CBE staff member Sarah Edwards, the significance of the Global Celebration for Women was captured in a single moment: when a group of brilliantly dressed African women began to sing and dance contagiously to the beat of a drum.
Remember the Women of the Persecuted Church
By: Guest Author | December 5, 2001
These women have struggled with painful separation, loss, and uncertainty. They have been ostracized by their culture, left alone to care for fatherless children and subjected to crushing poverty. Their faith has been stretched to the limit, and yet they have rarely been the subjects of prayer campaigns or human-rights projects.
Does CBE Matter in the Face of Terrorism?
By: Kim A. Pettit | December 5, 2001
In the face of terrorism, does CBE matter? Is it worth supporting? As I’ve thought about these questions, I’ve discovered remarkable answers. Biblical equality speaks to the questions raised by current events in ways I never would have expected.
“How Can I Help But Speak?”
By: Tracy Dunn-Noland | October 31, 2001
In 1998, the Southern Baptist Convention made headlines around the nation with the addition of the words “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband” to the Baptist Faith and Message (B F&M).
The Great Reunion Beyond
By: Sarah E. Hinlicky | September 6, 2001
But he didn’t want to live anymore, which was why he didn’t want to eat anymore, either. The facts added up, but that doesn’t mean they made sense to me.
