Jesus and Women: What Did Jesus Do?
By: Joe E. Trull | April 30, 2000
A much-debated issue in the nineties is the proper role of women in church and society. In this century, basic equality for women finally has been realized. A dramatic reversal also has occurred in society’s attitude toward the mistreatment of females. However, many voices are crying for greater liberation and justice for women.
Reasons Women Should Lead
By: Matt Messner | April 30, 2000
I will examine the subject of women being involved in Christian leadership and the degree of leadership in which it is appropriate for them to be involved. I will examine the different views regarding this issue and give a brief summary of the New Testament account of women in leadership.
Logical and Theological Problems with Gender Hierarchy
By: Rebecca Merrill Groothuis | April 30, 2000
The debate over biblical teaching on gender roles has focused primarily on the exegetical intricacies of a handful of controversial texts, with neither side able to answer completely every objection or difficulty with their position.

Habits of Companionship
By: Jo Kadlecek | January 31, 2000
I used to hate the word lonely. Where I came from, to say you were lonely was to admit weakness. Even to utter the word was to confess vulnerability. You were exposed, out of control. And maybe a little incompetent. God forbid a white, educated, middle-class woman from the great American West should be incompetent!
Who is My Neighbor?
By: Spencer Perkins | January 31, 2000
Stripped of all the theological debates and boiled down to its raw essence, Christianity and Christians will be judged by two actions: how much we love God and how well we demonstrate that by loving our neighbor. This is Christianity in a nutshell. But pushing these two great commands to the back pages of our [...]
A More Excellent Way: Race and Gender Reconciliation Through Christ

By looking at the life of Jesus, the one who came to reconcile the world to himself, we can extrapolate several principles and requirements for reconciliation.
The Biblical Option of Divorce
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | October 31, 1999
When we tell a woman that the Lord hates divorce, why do we fail to add that the same verse declares God’s hatred of violence? “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel, “and I hate a man’s covering his wife with violence as well as with his garment,” says the [...]
