Ordination in the New Testament (With Pertinent Biblical Materials)
By: Berkeley Mickelsen | July 30, 1990
Some lay persons have been surprised when they look in their concordances under "ordain" or "ordination" to find nothing helpful in their search for a biblical basis for the ordination of ministers. A biblical basis for the ordination of ministers involves the interpreter with a lot of inferences and assumptions.
Gender & Grace: Love, Work & Parenting in a Changing World
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | June 3, 1990
How are men and women different? How does being a male or a female affect us at work? What are the roles of husband and wife in marriage and parenting?

Theosebeia, a Priestly Colleague of Gregory of Nyssa
By: Guest Author | April 30, 1990
The one hundred and ninety-seventh letter of Gregory of Nazianzus, addressed to Gregory of Nyssa, contains a message of consolation over the death of Theosebeia, who has apparently been his colleague in the Gospel ministry. “Theosebeia, actually the priestess and colleague of a priest and equally honored and equally worthy of the Great Sacraments.”
The Husband of One Wife?
By: Guest Author | April 30, 1990
There is considerable debate as to how we should understand the command that a bishop, elder, or deacon should be the husband of one wife. (I Timothy 2:2,12.

My father was an evangelist and my mother, sister and I were going to join him in his full-time ministry. It wasn’t long before we were on the road. For me that road stretched over four years of time; I lost track of the number of miles and faces.

By: Evelyn Bence | April 30, 1990
I flushed with embarrassment. Desire for a soul-mate was something I felt all too keenly, but something I talked about with only a few close friends. Although I looked for him, the man of my dreams had not ridden – on a horse or in a sports car – over the horizon. For my emotional survival, desire [...]
Toward an Egalitarian Hermeneutic of Faith
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | April 30, 1990
I believe that we need to come to the Bible with just such a faith when we deal with the hard issues – not only those of doctrine but also those of Christian behavior. If we can develop a hermeneutic of faith which will apply to a better understanding of gender roles in the economy of [...]

Book Review: Building Your Family to Last
By: CBE International | April 30, 1990
The secret of building families to last is found in Kari's emphasis on parents modelling the Christian life before their children. If the mother and father—who are responsible before God for what happens in the home—are not walking with God, and not walking in harmony with each other before God, how can they [...]
