Q & A: Are There Limits to Male Headship?

|
“Recently I received an email at The Heidelblog from a woman named Katie with the following question: ‘I’m getting a lot of stick from my guy friends. They say that I should always submit to their lead and that this is biblical. I tell them that male headship is specifically within the context of marriage, […]

On Ontology And Male-Female Relations

|
“Recently two orthodox, confessional, female, Christian authors have published books addressing male-female relations within the church. I have read neither of these books so I am not commenting on them. I have noticed, however, that in some of the responses to these two books there have been appeals to ontology. This is a philosophical category. […]

When It Comes to Abuse, It Takes a Village

|
“His name was synonymous with integrity. He was the kingdom’s next big thing, a figure spoken of in messianic terms. And he was a disgusting sexual predator. This is the story of Amnon, the son of David and crown Prince of Israel, who in 2 Samuel 13 rapes his half-sister, Tamar. Yet it’s not just […]

A Year of Biblical Womanhood

|
“Rachel Held Evans had at least two stated goals for writing A Year of Biblical Womanhood, according to the promotional material accompanying my advance review copy… Evans wants to show that everyone who tries to follow biblical norms does so selectively—“cherry picking” some parts and passing over others. She also says she wants to open […]

True Woman 101: Divine Design

|
“There have been a couple of really good blog posts recently about the need to be discerning in what we read. Good reviews, impressive recommendations, even the stellar reputation of the authors shouldn’t be all that we rely on in deciding the worth of a book. Scripture tells us to be careful about the messages […]

The Nashville Statement: A Test of Orthodoxy?

|
“When the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) released the Nashville Statement on biblical sexuality, there were immediate responses from almost every quarter. Reactions ranged from wholehearted endorsement to begrudging acceptance to outright rejection. Many of those who rejected the Nashville Statement have done so because they disagree with the content of the Nashville […]

The Grand Design: Male and Female He Made Them

|
Continuing some research I’ve been doing, I recently read a new book, The Grand Design: Male and Female He Made Them, by Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock. I didn’t read the book intending to review it. However, given the recent debate over the Trinity, I decided it was a good example of why this debate […]

Shepherding a Child’s Heart: A Short Critique

|
“Shortly after Shepherding a Child’s Heart (SCH) came out, quite a few people highly recommended it. I bought it, read it, and then also promoted this “must read.” That was back when my views on rearing children tended to be in sync with what is considered the traditional Christian model for parenting. So, Tripp’s book […]

Shepherding a Child’s Heart

|
“In Shepherding a Child’s Heart (SCH), one of the things Dr. Tedd Tripp strongly emphasizes is the authority of the parents. That’s not problematic. The problem in my opinion, is that there is an unhealthy, unbiblical, and unbalanced emphasis on authority and obedience. Apparently, this is because he believes most parents, including Christian parents, do […]
