Answering a Question on Egalitarianism

I already responded to one post by Michael Patton on this topic (Am I a Complementarian?), but he followed this up with a question. I have been so busy with the release of my latest book (co-authored with Geoffrey Lentz) that I have fallen well behind the progress of this topic, but I still [...]

Am I a Complementarian?

Michael Patton has taken it upon himself to define both complementarianism and egalitarianism and I think he gets it almost completely wrong. Now I must note that I really like reading Michael Patton’s blog posts and I think he writes with an irenic tone that promotes Christian unity, and in the end he does [...]

Some Mideast Churches Vote to Ordain Women

Read the full story on The Christian Post.

This is an interesting development, especially considering the region involved.

How Not to Make Your Point

In his post next time, don’t invite the baptists, Bruce Alderman provides a link to a very unfortunate case in which a Lutheran pastor is put down by a local Baptist church because she is a woman.

Let me note here that I am personally acquainted with Baptists who oppose women in pastoral ministry and are [...]

Ben Witherington on Women in Ministry

Ben Witherington is taking on Biblical arguments against women in ministry in an article titles Why Arguments against Women in Ministry Aren’t Biblical. (HT: Dr. Platypus.)

I personally find his first and second arguments quite good, while I tend to be less convinced by his arguments regarding the specific texts. It seems to [...]

Series on Chauvinistic Passages in the Bible

Christopher Smith has written a three part series on chauvinistic passages in the Bible. The passages are:

1 Corinthians 11:3-16
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
1 Timothy 2:11-15

In general I agree with what he writes, though I think the balance of evidence is slightly in favor of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. I tended the other way on that passage [...]

Interpreting the Bible II: Excursus on the Plain Sense

I want to tie up a few loose ends in my first post on this series as well as point out some things on which I will need to comment further. In particular, I read this post by John Hobbins that references a post by Wayne Leman regarding complementarianism and the “plain sense” of [...]

Two Steps Back, and Proof Texts Too

Via Aristotle’s Feminist Subject, I found the story of the “True Woman” movement. See their manifesto as well.

Earlier today, John Hobbins was calling for “respectful dialogue” as the “need of the hour.” I like John Hobbins, and he displays great wisdom. Respectful dialogue is both needed and rarely to be had.

Unfortunately, with [...]

Christianity Today Blog for Women in Leadership

I’m a consistent advocate for women in church leadership, i.e. unrestricted in following God’s call and using their gifts.

Thus, when reading my Church Laughs today (this one didn’t tickle me that much-some of them are hilarious), I was happy to find an add for a “new” blog, Gifted for Leadership, for women in ministry. [...]

Idolatry of Theology and Liturgy

In a recent comment on my video Why I Hate the KJV, I received a comment that began thus: “You were saved by the KJV. . . .”
A young man visited my home and discussed with me for more than an hour. At the end, he said he was concerned for my salvation [...]
