Plain Vanilla Christianity: The Ongoing Need for Racial Reconciliation in Evangelism
By: Jo Kadlecek | July 31, 1997
Amid an increasingly polarized U.S. society, does the evangelical community reflect the dominant culture more than the biblical mandate for unity and justice in race relations? Some suggest the coals of a “racial reconciliation movement” in the church are catching fire.
Women Keep Promises, Too! Or, Christian Life is for Both Men and Women
By: Rebecca Merrill Groothuis, Douglas Groothuis | April 30, 1997
Perhaps we ought to express amazement not only at the size and success of Promise Keepers, but also that the idea of someone keeping his promises should be considered so revolutionary as to start a movement! Perhaps we should pause to ponder what kind of church we have become, now that many Christian men [...]
Promise Keepers and the Third Wall
By: Austin H. Stouffer | April 30, 1997
Promise Keepers, I beg of you: Seriously, biblically, prayerfully, consider the unprecedented impact your organization could have in tearing down this remaining wall: gender inequality.

Promise Keepers: A Volunteer's Perspective
By: Faith Martin | April 30, 1997
“Why don’t you attend as a volunteer, and then we can observe the rally from different angles.” This was Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen’s suggestion. She was coming to Pittsburgh to report for Books and Culture on the 1996 Promise Keepers’ rally to be held at Three Rivers Stadium. Mary would be there in an [...]
From the Trenches: Promise Keepers as an Example of Category-Specific Discipleship
By: Susan Finck-Lockhart | April 30, 1997
If Promise Keepers is a part of God’s strategy to unite his Body across racial and denominational differences and to bring his revival to our nation, then some challenging questions are: How can we as biblical feminists join with God through our view of Promise Keepers, our intercession on their behalf, and what we [...]
Defining the New Christian Man
By: William H. Lockhart | April 30, 1997
As the role of men in families is debated in America, since 1991 the rapidly expanding evangelical (Promise Keepers) men’s movement has sponsored conferences filling major sports stadiums. Christian bookstores are creating new “men’s" sections for the many new books on masculinity being produced by most of the conservative Protestant publishing houses. A survey [...]
Servanthood or Soft Patriarchy? A Christian Feminist Looks at the Promise Keepers Movement
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1997
Promise Keepers has so far embraced a rhetoric of both servanthood and soft patriarchy, a position ambiguous enough to make Christian feminists of both sexes push them for greater clarity. “Promise Keepers will have to walk a narrow line,” writes seminary professor Howard Snyder, “calling for male leadership without putting down the leadership of women.”
Masculinity in Crisis: Remaining Biblical in a Changing World
By: Kaye V. Cook, Howard E. Frost | April 30, 1997
For men to move from an identity-fixed to an identity-flexible gender-role model, from macho to mature, from a career-centered to holistic self-definition, from “safe” to sharing friendships, from “give 'em hell” to nurturance and caring, is not easy. The realization that God calls us into relationship with one another, however, should challenge Christian men to [...]
