International Women’s Day

Last updated on: March 8, 2019 at 2:31 pm By Scot McKnight

International Women’s Day: Earlier this year, millions of women lined up to form a human “wall” of protest to call for gender equality in India. The story is one of many from our blog that we’re highlighting for International Women’s Day — dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women in all arenas: social, economic, cultural, political and personal. To highlight the March 8 commemoration, here are some of the remarkable women and women’s movements we’ve covered over the past year.... Read more

Susan Shaw, the SBC, and Women

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 8:59 am By Scot McKnight

Susan Shaw’s excellent post: In the 1970s, greater numbers of women entered the six Southern Baptist seminaries, many professing a calling to the pastorate, even though most churches still refused to ordain them. I grew up Southern Baptist and was a student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in the 1980s. By that time, women were about a third of the student body, although very few women were professors. This was also a time when fundamentalists took charge of the Southern Baptist... Read more

Church Attendance is Down, But Why?

Last updated on: March 12, 2019 at 2:34 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn Recent studies have confirmed what most of us have already figured out. People aren’t going to church the way they used to. Attendance and involvement are down across every denomination and in every demographic. No age group, no ethnic group, no area of our country has been immune from this new reality. We’ve been following this trend long enough to know it’s not a temporary slump, but a full-blown decline. While there are some mitigating factors –... Read more

Elisabeth Elliot, Beth Moore, Denny Burk

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 8:55 am By Scot McKnight

From Beth Allison Barr, featuring Beth Moore, Which starts here… In Let Me Be A Woman, Elliot draws a clear line in the sand. Women are different from men, and women should stop trying to claim equality with men. Women’s submission is the divine order of the universe and it is time for women to embrace it. As she writes: “It is a naive sort of feminism that insists that women prove their ability to do all the things that men... Read more

Atheism is an Age Old Problem (RJS)

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 6:54 pm By RJS

One of the most interesting insights is the nothing new under the sun phenomenon, at least when it comes to human nature. We’ve been working through Craig Allert’s new book Early Christian Readings of Genesis One. Several years ago I read and posted on Peter Bouteneff’s book Beginnings: Ancient Christian Readings of the Biblical Creation Narratives. In this book Bouteneff looks at several of the early church fathers including the Cappadocian Fathers, Basil and the two Gregories, Gregory of Nazianus... Read more

Lectureships

Last updated on: March 4, 2019 at 8:29 pm By Scot McKnight

Source: For scholars, the phrase “publish or perish” has become an ironclad rule of academic career development. Without a sufficient number of publications in the right kinds of journals, tenure and promotion are just a pipe dream. But another, much less studied aspect of faculty work can also shape the arc of a career in the professoriate. It is not teaching or service. It is the invited talk. The talks can take many forms. There are the ever-popular seminar series,... Read more

Is Torah Relevant Today?

Last updated on: March 5, 2019 at 9:07 am By Scot McKnight

John Walton and his son J. Harvey Walton, The Lost World of the Torah, and the 5th part of their book will prove to be the most controversial. Why? W&W anchor the Torah in the Ancient Near East (ANE), in the covenant God made (exclusively) with Israel (not the church, and the covenant and its legislation stipulations are about God’s presence with Israel. We are not in that covenant so what is said to that covenant people is not “to”... Read more

Nancy Beach’s Wise Words

Last updated on: March 5, 2019 at 1:45 pm By Scot McKnight

From Nancy Beach: I have been asked by friends, family, and a few reporters how I feel and what I think about the recently released report by the IAG (Independent Advisory Group) concerning the allegations related to Bill Hybels (BH). Here’s my bottom line: I believe the report got the big ideas right: The allegations of sexually inappropriate words and actions by BH were credible. Over multiple decades, the WCCC boards were unable to provide sufficient oversight of BH. BH... Read more
