By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 31, 1991
Subtitled "Women Called to Ministry," Dr. Spencer's book presents a new look at Scripture's description of women's roles.

By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 30, 1991

Old Testament Prophets as Types for New Testament Leaders
By: Francis H. Geis | April 30, 1991
If God could call and equip women for this office and ministry without violating their roles as wives and mothers in ancient Israel, why can He not do so in the Church today? Indeed, in light of what Joel 2:28-32 has to say about the Messianic Age, the “New Age of Prophecy”, these OT women [...]
Bread and Roses at Bethany: A Chapel Meditation on Matthew 26:6-16
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1991
Because International Women’s Day has its roots in the largely-secular history of organized labor and the international socialist movement, we might well conclude that its celebration in the middle of lent is the result of accident rather than design. And yet I discovered during my research for this talk that the motto of the [...]
