Suzanne has just completed a very well written series of posts on the gender role debate at Better Bibles Blog. There are four posts: I, II, III, IV. I was reminded of a post by Ben Witherington in March, “The Eternal Subordination of Christ and Women”. His post (actually a reprint of [...]

Stumbled on the Institute for the Future of the Book which has some Bible-related articles. What will the book of the future look like? And what is the future of the book?

The Internet Monk has blogged on “The Missionary Headache.” His post looks at how many American churches feel threatened by individuals and organizations who are approaching America as an unreached mission field. I’m particularly interested in the way that the definition of missionary has shifted over the last several years and how the [...]
