The Importance of Gender-Inclusive Language
By: Julia Alford, David Mustol | October 31, 2000
What language is most effective in communicating the true meaning of Scripture? It is the language of the people with whom we want to communicate. We are at a point today where traditional Bible translations, with their male-oriented language, seem to many to be outdated.
The Feminine Imagery of God in the Hebrew Bible
By: Joan P. Schaupp | October 31, 2000
There are profound metaphors of God as feminine in the Hebrew Old Testament. On occasion this poetic imagery is allegorized literally as female; most often the feminine appears in the Hebrew Bible in metaphor and allegory, as in Deuteronomy 32:18b where God, here named Eloah, gives birth to Israel in groaning and travail [...]

By: Joe Lunceford | October 31, 2000

Book Review: A Hero from Yesterday: Phoebe Palmer's The Promise of the Father
By: Martha Berg | October 31, 2000
Palmer's underlying thesis is that the promise of the Father to pour out his Spirit on all flesh, male and female, and that sons and daughters would prophesy, relates to the role of women in the church today.
Women, Religion, and the Culture War
By: Rebecca Merrill Groothuis, Douglas Groothuis | September 5, 2000
At its yearly convention, the largest Protestant denomination in America passed a statement opposing abortion, pornography, homosexuality — and female pastors. For Southern Baptist leaders, these issues hang together. They assume that on their side of the culture war, Christians must oppose these practices as a piece.
Whose Prayers Count More?
By: Chelsea DeArmond | September 5, 2000
As I bowed my head to pray, I remember feeling disappointed that the pastor’s wife was praying with me instead of the pastor. Although she was a godly woman, I thought that somehow if he led me in prayer it would count more than his wife’s prayers. I wished that I could sneak [...]
