Recognizing The Connection: Women And Missions
By: Bryant Myers | July 31, 1995
If the education and empowerment of women leads to other kinds of positive social change, might women also be critical to spiritual transformation as well? Such a connection might provide important strategic insight with regard to some of the larger unreached people groups that have been highly resistant to traditional forms of evangelism.
Margaret Fell (1614-1702): A Brief Biography Of The Mother Of Quakerism
By: Sally Bruyneel | July 31, 1995
Margaret Fell, known to many as the “Mother of Quakerism,” is arguably one of the most fascinating figures in Western religious history. Though frequently overlooked by historians, Margaret Fell played a germinal role in the development of the Friends (Quaker) movement, and her life presents a compelling picture of the power of faith and the [...]
Sins of Omission: Searching for the Whole Truth in Genesis 17 and 18
By: Camille S. Muir | July 31, 1995
The story in Genesis 17 and 18 of the Lord’s telling first Abraham and then Sarah that they would have a son in their old age is one of the places in Scripture where a “sin of omission” is often committed.
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 [...]
Lament
By: Celeste Schroeder | April 30, 1995
Rendered invisible it has happened just too many times times two squared and more. Even worse is being rendered visible but not really important. Your voice is not really that important they say. It doesn’t have the right credentials, Many books behind you ... a following... or enough degrees, or how could you really have [...]
A New Testament Perspective on the Treatment of “Everywoman”
By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | April 30, 1995
Chapters 17 through 21 of the Book of Judges record the depths of social depravity in possibly Scripture’s clearest depiction of the flaws of a patriarchal society. These chapters truly show the ultimate in degradation: idolatry, pride, selfishness, moral perversion, and insensitivity to human life. Chapters 19-21 also reveal the most awful violations of the human [...]
Jesus Calls Us
By: Julia Ann Flora | April 30, 1995
This is the centenary year marking the death on October 12 of Cecil Frances Alexander, one of the greatest women hymn writers. Her funeral in Londonderry attracted a great crowd from all of Great Britain to pay tribute to this noble woman.
Two-Headed Leadership Monster Or An Equal Partnership?
By: Jan Huffaker | April 30, 1995
Who says dual leadership won’t work?? Who says some one person has to make the ultimate decision? This is not a “truth” that I find explicitly stated in Scripture, nor is it one that has panned out in real life in every case. I would suggest that it is in the category of “old-husbands’ [...]
Believing the Right Thing
By: Kathryn E. Stegall | April 30, 1995
I was confronted with the need to exercise my faith to believe that by his rich grace God had made me alive in Christ so that I was no longer a foreigner and alien in the church but never quite a brother or fellow citizen either.
