Articles on Hierarchy Women in Ministry and Marriage by Wendy Francisco.

This article looks at Ephesians 5 to highlight how Scripture can be mistranslated and incorrectly taught.The Patriarchs Are Coming! Why are they arriving on the scene and in our churches? by Dr. Del Birkey. Birkey discusses the concept of patriarchy as viewed by traditionalists vs. egalitarians, as well as the current attempt to strengthen this ancient agenda in churches and homes as the benignly renamed complementarianism. Birkey offers compelling proof in this thesis that the old-order patriarchy has been rendered obsolete in Jesus Christ and the New Testament. He even takes some Christian women to task for their supporting role in this "disarray" from which Jesus came to redeem us. The Evangelical Debate over Biblical "Headship" by Dr. David M. Scholer.

Included are studies on kephale and authentein on the precise points upon which the so-called headship debate rests. The Doctrine of the Trinity and Subordination

essay is a must read. Why Modern Patriarchy Is Not
