Feminism in the Writings of Jacques Ellul
By: Joyce Main Hanks | October 31, 1987
Late in 1981 I dug up one of Ellul’s early articles from the Protestant weekly Réforme: ‘La Femmes et les esprits’ (Women and the spirits) and found what we expect when we know Ellul: a maddening mixture of apparently reactionary views and revolutionary ideas.
The Feminine Response to Life
By: Hattie Veurink | October 31, 1987
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;” and from this biblical concept feminists must look at life and its fulfillment. The Holy Spirit was poured out for ministry; Jesus began after the endument on Him (Luke 4:1). Jesus broke the last barrier of separation that had been imposed on women by tradition. [...]
Is There a Head of the House in the Home? Reflections on Ephesians 5
By: James R. Beck | October 31, 1987
Ephesians 5:15-6:9 is a Haustafel (a table of household duties) and is the central passage for Pauline teaching on Christian marriage. The passage, along with its reduced parallel in Colossians, is well known by persons of all persuasions on the issue of the relationship between wives and husbands.
A Biblical Basis for Ministry
By: Donna C. Fujimoto | October 31, 1987
It is apparent that the Christian church is grappling with the issue of women’s roles in ministry. Many churches rely on conclusions not founded in Scripture as the basis for their policies. This article seeks to illustrate such inconsistencies and challenge each church to carefully examine the scriptures as the basis for their attitudes [...]

By: CBE International | October 31, 1987
People sometimes write us to ask where they can find evidence that actual women held official positions of church officership. Professor Greg Horsley of Macquarie University, Australia, has kindly supplied us with the following partial list of references to women in church leadership.
New Organization Incorporated
By: CBE International | October 31, 1987
On August 28, 1987, Men, Women and God: Christians for Biblical Equality became a reality. The new organization affirms the equality of women and men in church, home, and society and encourages the full development of the gifts and talents of all Christians for God’s service.
Is God the Only Reliable Father?
By: Alvera Mickelsen | July 31, 1987
Tennis does not defend patriarchy. Neither does she defend efforts to rid God of "maleness." Rather, she presents God the Father as a model for earthly fathers.
An Illustration of the Greek Notion of "Head" as "Source"
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | July 30, 1987
The biblical insistence that the source of woman lay in man means that woman is fully human and fully equal because she partakes of the same substance as man, "bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh." She too is made in God's image (Genesis 5: 1-3).
A Plea for Restraint
By: Richard Kroeger | July 30, 1987
At the evangelical colloquium on women and the Bible, I introduced the section on biblical hermeneutics (the art of interpreting Scripture) by saying that the most crucial issues for evangelicals in the modern world of biblical studies were not in the arena of the so-called "Battle for the Bible" (inerrancy and authority). Important as these [...]
Evangelicalism: The Coming Generation
By: James Davison Hunter | June 1, 1987
Hunter and Stehlin invest the bulk of their energy in debunking the "traditional" Christian family concept as promoted by many popularizers of our day.
