President's Message: The Power of Story
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2016
During my PhD studies at the University of Durham (Durham, England), I lived and studied beside some of the most dedicated Christians I have ever known. Separated for years from their families, they worked without ceasing, seven days a week, indebted to the communities that supported their education. Often struggling with English and the bitter [...]
Ancient Israel’s Queen of Hearts
By: Aliyah Jacobs | March 5, 2016
Salome Alexandra was a Hasmonean, born almost twenty years after her family had taken leadership over the land. She grew up privileged, educated, and incredibly strong. She excelled in her studies of God’s Holy Law and in political affairs.
Wisdom from an Ancient Implement
By: Beulah Wood | March 5, 2016
Who would think we would find important truths about marriage from the ancient agricultural implements found along the highways and byways of South India?
Love and Respect: A Better Way
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2016
The story that “women need love and men need respect” is simple and appealing, but is one with a dirty little secret (okay, maybe it’s not that much of a secret): it places all the power in a relationship squarely in the hands of men.
A Vision of Equal Wheels: The gender debates and women’s identity
By: Tania Harris | March 5, 2016

What Was He Thinking?
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2016
Many of the stories we learn about gender show us a world where selfish fantasies are fulfilled or fears are realized, but they teach us very little about actual love. They teach us even less about who God made us to be.
Redeeming the Stories We Tell: Overwriting patriarchal narratives in pursuit of gender reconciliation
By: Rob Dixon | March 5, 2016
We are shaped by our stories. In fact, our stories, once in place, determine much of our behavior without regard to their accuracy or helpfulness. Once these stories are stored in our minds, they stay there largely unchallenged until we die. And here is the main point: these narratives are running (and often ruining) our [...]
Women’s History Month: Early Church Women and Desert Mothers
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 4, 2016
The integral inclusion of women in the life of the church continued after the death of the apostles. Preferring rejection, torture, and even death to renouncing their faith, women served Christ as missionaries, scholars, and pilgrims. Women were also noted among the martyrs of the early church, and their astounding courage and faith changed the [...]
Response to Kevin DeYoung’s “Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus,” Part 1
By: Philip B. Payne | March 2, 2016
Kevin DeYoung’s article, “Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus,” makes two main assertions. First, Jesus was pro-woman and virtually all scholars agree. Second, Jesus was complementarian. DeYoung does not reference a single passage in support of this from the Gospels except, “Jesus never rejected biblical teaching from the Old Testament (Matt. 5:17).”
The Problem With Modesty
By: Kelley Werner | March 1, 2016
I have been ashamed for so long. I have been afraid. I have felt like no matter what I do, I will always and forever be man’s demise. My body will always be a threat to someone else.
