By: Elvera Corben | October 31, 1996
Hearing ambulance sirens was nothing out of the ordinary when I worked as a nurse in the emergency department in Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Hospital. But, although I didn’t know it at the time, the sirens blaring one day were signaling a major change in my life. Through the emergency doors came a [...]
More on the Roles of Women in Antiquity
By: Craig Keener | October 31, 1996
Evangelical egalitarians often argue that the biblical writers were progressive in their day.

By: James V. Potter | July 31, 1996
“If wives were submissive like God intended them to be, there wouldn’t be any domestic violence” is a statement that I have heard over and over again during my years as a counselor. These comments have not all come from the lips of battering husbands, but from many Christian workers and members of the [...]
Snapshots of a Devout Woman
By: Patricia A. Halverson | July 31, 1996
A picture of a certain woman appears on three of the pages. A closer look reveals that in each of these three encounters between Jesus and this woman, she is at his feet. In two of the pictures, people are angry with her—but not Jesus. In only one photo is she speaking, and that [...]
