Another Look at Eve: Mother Eve gets a bad rap. But is it justified?
By: Jane McNally | January 31, 2001
Traditional Jewish and Christian interpretations of the early chapters of Genesis have led to the heaviest blame often falling on Eve for the entrance of sin and death into the world... Faulty interpretations of many Bible texts concerning women foster the low status, oppression, and abuse of women the world around, which is one [...]
Biblical Women Weren’t Always Submissive
By: Joe Lunceford | October 31, 2000
I have presented women from both Old Testament and New who held the highest positions of authority that existed at the time they lived. There are many people, I believe, who will have more to answer for in the context of God’s judgment for the treatment of women in the church than just about [...]
Cogs in the Wheel
By: Susan McCoubrie | April 30, 2000
We want to look at the contributions of four nameless Old Testament women and see how they were involved in the course of Israel’s history.
The Monstrous Regiment of Women
By: Canon Nigel B. Mitchell | March 5, 2000
It has taken some 3000 years since the time of Deborah, and over 400 years since John Knox, but in the latter part of this century most of us have realized this truth. If God raises up women as leaders, in the military, in secular politics, or in the Church, who are we to take up the [...]
Mary, God's Servant: Her Story Retold
By: Linda Marion Montgomery | July 31, 1999
The New Testament is the earliest source for Mary. Galatians, possibly written around 57 AD, speaks of Jesus being “born of a woman” (Gal 4:4); that is our earliest reference to the mother of Christ. All the Gospels, probably written between 70 and 100 AD, testify to the existence of Mary.
Partners in Mission
By: Dan Gentry Kent | July 31, 1999
The emphasis in the New Testament is not on competition—it is rather on such qualities as unity, cooperation, and teamwork. These qualities remind me of my favorite Bible couple, Aquila and Priscilla.
The Levite's Concubine
By: Elaine Heath | January 31, 1999
Domestic violence is the number one health threat faced by women in the United States today. It accounts for more deaths than automobile accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. At least 95% of domestic violence is male against female and it is rare for violence in a marriage to be an isolated episode. Violence is usually [...]
Mary of Nazareth: Exemplar of Biblical Spirituality
By: Diane Stinton | October 31, 1998
In his presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Luke introduces certain individuals who responded appropriately to the revelation of God in Jesus. One such person was Mary of Nazareth. A closer look at a few familiar passages, the Annunciation and the Magnificat (Lk 1:26-56), reveals certain characteristics of biblical spirituality that are exemplified in [...]
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Apostle John
By: Susan McCoubrie | October 31, 1998
Our Rector posed the question, “Of all the characters in the Bible, who would you like to interview concerning who this Christ is and why he came?” We pondered the question for a moment and before I could open my mouth to say “Mary,” a man in the group said: “Mary, his mother.”
Book Review: Priscilla's Letter
By: Estella B. Horning | October 31, 1998
Ruth Hoppin has spent decades researching Adolf Harnack's hypothesis that Priscilla wrote the biblical Epistle to the Hebrews. A first book, Priscilla, Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, was published in the late 1960s. Since that time additional relevant material has been published, some of it related to the Dead Sea Scrolls. This book [...]
