Who is a Virtuous Woman?
By: Karen Mason | January 30, 1990
The Bible sets forth an ideal and calls the ideal woman an eshet-chayil, which is the Hebrew for a “virtuous woman” (KJV) or a “wife of noble character” (NIV). This Hebrew expression occurs only three times in the Old Testament, but a study of these three passages is likely to reveal what the Bible supports [...]
The Drive Back Home
By: Tina Saxon | January 30, 1990
Traveling home from the summer ’89 CBE conference unearthed a flood of sad memories that surprised me in the light of the supreme joy I had experienced at the conference itself. Although the still, small voice whispering “This too shall pass” brought comfort, the memories, once uncovered, reflected a pain and anguish familiar to those acquainted [...]
The Parable of the Old Piano
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | January 30, 1990
It is so with the transforming power of God’s Word which cleans and illuminates. When the true worth of a human being is revealed to us, we can never again treat that individual as a second rate person.
Asking the Tough Questions: Is There Equality in Christians for Biblical Equality?
By: Jeff Bolton | October 31, 1989
If someone were to call me a feminist in the true definition of the word, I would proudly accept the title. I believe in the social, political, and – more importantly – the biblically-based equality of all in Christ. But I can not accept the title of feminist because of what it seems to have become in [...]
Is There a Biblical Feminism?
By: Rebecca Pentz | October 31, 1989
Whereas I see no need to defend, only to lament, the sexism of Christendom, I do think feminine Christians should think again about what Jesus himself taught. Jesus was a man. How did his maleness affect how he related to, and what he taught about, women?
A Call to Co-operation
By: Robyn Claydon | October 31, 1989
When the term "co-operation" is used, the emphasis is usually on "co" -together, but let us not forget that the phrase means as much "working" together as working "together." There is action involved in "co-operation", but it is an action undertaken in unity.
We Are Equal, This We Know
By: Leo Kwiatkowski | October 31, 1989
We are equal, this we know, For the Bible tells us so. Jew and Greek to God belong; Racial barriers are all wrong.
Beginning at the Beginning
By: Frances Hiebert | July 31, 1989
To really understand what the Bible all about, you need to begin with the Beginning. That gives you a perspective on cosmic and human history that puts the rest of Scripture in focus. We then see the Bible "through the Lens of Eden," as Mildred Enns Toews from Winnipeg, Manitoba says.
Lady Justice: The Contribution of Women in Mystery Fiction
By: William David Spencer | July 31, 1989
Are people sick of reading novels that portray women as either victims or villains? Are Christians fed up with fiction that stereotypes believers as simply helplessly innocent or hopelessly immoral? Is the major, moral, middle-class reader in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain growing weary of nearly exclusively seeing endless images of the sinister [...]
Double Jeopardy: Racism and Sexism
By: Tina Saxon | July 31, 1989
My doctoral project proposal concerns itself with the issue of black women as senior pastors in the Baptist and other black churches. This is an educational project designed to encourage black women to become more effective leaders in their churches by helping them to appreciate their gifts and talents and not have others to limit [...]
