The Role of Women in Christian Education
By: James Plueddemann | July 31, 1989
To build the Body of Christ, we must use all our God-given resources. Yet the church is fragmenting itself over the issue of how to use the resources. I argue that the testimony of the whole body of Scripture leaves room for cultural interpretation on the role of women in the church, and thus [...]
The Game…The Road
By: Alice Movius Painter | July 31, 1989
There seems to be a game – that you must play, if you would rise. | There seems to be a game – and with it lots of compromise | You live to impress others, and you're as slick as you can be. | But, where – oh, where – are perfect hearts, and deep sincerity?& [...]

By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 31, 1989

By: Deborah L. Menken | April 30, 1989

By: John Weaver | April 30, 1989

The call for women missionaries is not often heard today. Often women are left with the feeling “we are only needed because the men fail to go.” Our American culture looks on pioneer missionary work as man’s work because the Church is infiltrated with a worldly and pagan view of women as inferior to [...]
Why We’ve Missed the Mark
By: Frances Hiebert | April 30, 1989
Biblical feminists, as opposed to other feminists outside and within the church, accept the full authority of all Scripture for all the people of God. But they recognize, with all modern people, that we do not absorb Scripture in its pure form into our understanding. Like anything else we read, reading Scripture is an interpretive [...]

The Church and the Abuse of Women
By: Phyllis Alsdurf, James Alsdurf | January 31, 1989
Much of the research in the area of wife abuse has been done by feminists, some of whom themselves have been victims of wife beating...They have given up on the hope that change will come through social institutions such as the church. Rather than seeing the church as part of the solution to the [...]
