Articles on Authority
Empirical Data in Support of
Egalitarian Marriages and A Fresh Perspective on Submission and Authority
by Dennis J. Preato. Groundbreaking material that calls on the church
to look at the positive data on the egalitarian marriage as opposed to the
traditional male headship structure. Included is a look at the
biblical meaning of the word translated submission. Don't miss this
one. It's fantastic.
Who's the Boss? by Drs. Eddie & Susan
Hyatt. Who's the Boss gives 3 reasons why Ephesians 5:21-33 is not about authority in
marriage. This article is a brief summation of the arguments presented
in the Hyatt's new book by the same name.
Covering and Authority by Kluane Spake.
Dr. Spake has presented as an additional and expanded view of the article on Covering
found in the Fall Newsletter of God's Word to Women. Running a second
article on the same subject indicates our opinion as to its importance.
Uncovering the Covering Doctrine
by Cheryl McGrath. We
have been impressed with other articles from her pen, but this one is not to be
missed. It is long but worth your time. Cheryl brings both a strong
educational background and years of experience to her topic. Her stated purpose
is to shed some light on this issue based on scriptural truth.
Equal in Creation, Male and Female Created
to Co-labor with God by Fuchsia T. Pickett. The church has long
misunderstood God's divine plan for the genders. He never
intended for man to rule over woman. This article is reprinted with
the gracious permission of Fuchsia Pickett and the magazine Spirit Led Woman
published by Strang Communications
Government of the Garden by Cindye
Coates. This article proposes that if we look to Genesis, we will find the original blue
print of how God designed Kingdom Order and a Redemptive Government! The key
word here is redemptive; needed since traditional church government remains
a fallen hierarchal system and Jesus has redeemed us from the fall.
To Be Ordained or Not to Be -- That is the Question! by Barbara Collins. The
word "ordain" is definitely scriptural and usually means simply "chosen" or
"selected". But does ordination become a real drawback when the
designation "clergy" is a distinction that lifts one out of the true
brother/sister position and puts one "over" instead of "along with" the
"lay" people.
The Head in the Epistles by Berkeley and
Alvera Mickelsen. What did the apostle Paul mean when he wrote, "For
the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his
body" (Eph. 5:23)? And, "The head of every man is Christ, and the head of
the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God" (I Cor. 11:3)? This classic
article challenges traditional interpretation of the word "head" in these
scriptures!
Why Modern Patriarchy Is Not
Biblical by Kathryn J. Riss. Th.M. This article details the
continuing problems brought on by patriarchy in modern society and provides
biblical evidence that patriarchy is not God's idea.
A Woman's Place by Bernadine Tillman.
This article is the introduction and first chapter of the book A Woman's
Place which contains insights and experiences from two years of a Bible study
based on God's Word to Women. This book offers a fresh bold view and
is a testimony to God's faithfulness to those who seek truth.
