An Open Letter to James Dobson, Paige Patterson, Wayne Grudem, Lars Dunberg and Bruce Ryskamp… and the other signers of the Colorado Springs Guidelines
Good News for All People
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | October 31, 1997
" I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." In the ensuing discussion, a question was raised as to whether this Scripture applied to everyone or only to men. Every single child said [...]
From a Translator's Point of View: Bury Me With My Fathers
By: Arthur H. Lewis | October 31, 1997
There are a number of reasons to understand “fathers” (Hebrew aboth) in these contexts as a generic term. I believe Jacob was referring not just to the male members of his family, to whom he hoped to be joined in death, but to his wives and female ancestors as well.
Am I Wrong Because I’m Politically Correct? Ten Reasons to Embrace Inclusive Language Revision
By: David R. Leigh | October 31, 1997
The badge of political incorrectness began as an oft-appropriate response to ideas and values imposed on us culturally by political liberals—a backlash against left-wing “thought police” whose anti-traditional values ironically included opposition to censorship, absolutes, and “legislated morality.”
A Gender Matter: A Response to the Colorado Springs Guidelines
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | October 31, 1997
“This is not a gender matter, it’s a language matter.” Professor Jimmy Duke speaks for many in his comments on translations (Saint Paul Pioneer, June, 1997:4D). I beg to disagree. As a professor of New Testament who has served on several translation committees, and as a woman, I propose that the May 27 “Guidelines for [...]

By: David R. Leigh | October 31, 1997
When a bomb goes off those behind the incident will usually take credit and publish a tract or manifesto to propagate their views. So it was in the latest chapter of the evangelical culture wars. On May 27, 1997, the International Bible Society (IBS) made a decision that exploded in controversy, and the real culprits behind the [...]
Which Bible to Use?
By: Alvera Mickelsen | October 31, 1997
Shortly after the controversy over the New International Version Inclusive Language Edition (NIVI) erupted, an older woman in one of my Bible classes asked me, “Are you in favor of changing our Bible?”
“Lord, If Only…”: Reflections on Single Adulthood in Africa and in the West
By: Diane Stinton | July 31, 1997
For whatever our experience of singleness, be it freedom and joyous fulfillment or agonizing aloneness, our life this side of eternity will never be what God originally intended in creation. Regardless of our marital status, we cannot escape the human condition of fallenness.
Anna, Prophet of God
By: Arthur H. Lewis | July 31, 1997
An Israelite woman doing the work of a man is found infrequently in the Scriptures, but Anna is one of the exceptions. Luke 2:36-38 pictures Anna in the Temple court busy with the office, and in the traditional role, of a Hebrew prophet. Her example should be an encouragement to every gifted woman who has [...]
How Does Paul Interpret Eve in 1 Timothy 2?
By: Craig Keener | July 31, 1997
Evangelical interpreters, egalitarians and complementarians alike, have slain many trees over Paul’s precise point in citing Eve in 1 Timothy 2:13-15. Is Eve a transcultural example, or merely an example applicable to the easily-deceived Ephesian women and those like them?
