A Warrior Priesthood Is Essential: Really? - Part 2
By: Francis H. Geis | October 15, 2014
Last week, I introduced why Alastair Roberts' view that an all-male "warrior priesthood" is essential is both non-biblical and illogical. Now we turn our attention specifically to Genesis 1 and 2.
Identity in Creation and Christ (Part 1)

Why Did God Create Woman?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 3, 2010
According to Genesis, the only cloud hanging over Eden was man without woman. "It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him a helper as a partner" (Gen. 2:18, NRSV). What is the good or strong help that women offer?
Does Genesis 1-3 Teach Hierarchy?
By: Allison J. Young | October 28, 2009
Adam calling Eve “woman” does not indicate Adam’s authority over her; rather, it is an expression of the similarities that they share, as Adam exclaims “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called woman, for out of man this one was taken” (Gen. 2:23).
