By: Camille S. Muir | July 31, 1995

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.

Chapters 19-21 also reveal the most awful violations of the human [...]

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.

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.
