From My Point of View: Women, Society and Self-Esteem
By: Linda Van Grinsven | July 31, 1994
Self-esteem is often very simply defined as “feeling good about yourself.” In reality, self-esteem is much more complicated than that. To understand self-esteem we must first start with another term, self-concept.

By: Craig Keener | July 31, 1994
When Desiree Washington charged that Mike Tyson had raped her, some Christians retorted that it was her fault for getting herself into the situation. While blaming the victim may accord with some of the ethics of our culture, it does not accord with the Bible.
When Praying Isn't Enough: Religion, Prejudice, and Abuse
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | July 31, 1994
As I examine the interrelatedness of religion, prejudice and abuse, I am aware that abuse—whether physical, sexual or psychological—is a profoundly gendered concept. The majority of abusers are male and the majority of victims are women and children. And prejudice—the unjustifiably negative attitude toward a group and its members, with supporting [...]
