Call Me Blessed: The Emerging Christian Woman
By: Faith Martin | April 1, 1988
Through this book, readers participate in an informed laywoman's struggle to understand woman's place in the Kingdom. It is a rare book, one that draws on scholarly material, yet remains readable and personal in tone and style; one that is strongly worded, yet without a rancorous edge. It is a book that seeks, with proper [...]
Book Review: Evangelicalism: The Coming Generation
By: James R. Beck | January 31, 1988
Biblical feminists will be interested in a chapter titled "Family: Toward Androgyny." Hunter's sociological study of evangelical college and seminary students surveys current attitudes regarding world, morality, self, theology, politics, and the family.
Holiness Perspectives on Headship and Women's Equality
By: Susie C. Stanley | January 30, 1988
This article will examine briefly the views of headship expressed by three leaders in the early Holiness Movement.

Who are the Women in 1 Timothy 2:1-15 (Part 1)
By: Berkeley Mickelsen | January 30, 1988
This passage in I Timothy has caused much confusion about what women can or cannot do in church services or in teaching. In the oft-heated discussions, a verse or two, or even a single phrase is sometimes selected and the rest of the passage ignored.

By: Joyce Main Hanks | October 31, 1987
Late in 1981 I dug up one of Ellul’s early articles from the Protestant weekly Réforme: ‘La Femmes et les esprits’ (Women and the spirits) and found what we expect when we know Ellul: a maddening mixture of apparently reactionary views and revolutionary ideas.
The Feminine Response to Life
By: Hattie Veurink | October 31, 1987
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life;” and from this biblical concept feminists must look at life and its fulfillment. The Holy Spirit was poured out for ministry; Jesus began after the endument on Him (Luke 4:1). Jesus broke the last barrier of separation that had been imposed on women by tradition. [...]
Is There a Head of the House in the Home? Reflections on Ephesians 5
By: James R. Beck | October 31, 1987
Ephesians 5:15-6:9 is a Haustafel (a table of household duties) and is the central passage for Pauline teaching on Christian marriage. The passage, along with its reduced parallel in Colossians, is well known by persons of all persuasions on the issue of the relationship between wives and husbands.
A Biblical Basis for Ministry
By: Donna C. Fujimoto | October 31, 1987
It is apparent that the Christian church is grappling with the issue of women’s roles in ministry. Many churches rely on conclusions not founded in Scripture as the basis for their policies. This article seeks to illustrate such inconsistencies and challenge each church to carefully examine the scriptures as the basis for their attitudes [...]

By: CBE International | October 31, 1987
People sometimes write us to ask where they can find evidence that actual women held official positions of church officership. Professor Greg Horsley of Macquarie University, Australia, has kindly supplied us with the following partial list of references to women in church leadership.
