Toward an Egalitarian Hermeneutic of Faith
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | April 30, 1990
I believe that we need to come to the Bible with just such a faith when we deal with the hard issues – not only those of doctrine but also those of Christian behavior. If we can develop a hermeneutic of faith which will apply to a better understanding of gender roles in the economy of [...]

Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: Stressing the differences
By: W. Ward Gasque | January 30, 1990
Many contemporary evangelical Bible scholars and theologians, not to mention ordinary lay men and women, are convinced that attempts to use the Bible so as to exclude women from positions of leadership for which their Creator has made them and to which their Lord as called them – whether in society, home or church – is flawed.

This Hebrew expression occurs only three times in the Old Testament, but a study of these three passages is likely to reveal what the Bible supports [...]
The Drive Back Home
By: Tina Saxon | January 30, 1990
Traveling home from the summer ’89 CBE conference unearthed a flood of sad memories that surprised me in the light of the supreme joy I had experienced at the conference itself.

Asking the Tough Questions: Is There Equality in Christians for Biblical Equality?
By: Jeff Bolton | October 31, 1989

I believe in the social, political, and – more importantly – the biblically-based equality of all in Christ. But I can not accept the title of feminist because of what it seems to have become in [...]
