August 25, 2006Posted by Amy Hall It's Friday again and time to discuss Wayne Grudem's book, Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth. Since Grudem's first two chapters describe the foundational thinking behind the rest of the book, I don't want to move past them too quickly. Too often people begin and end their arguments with “the Bible says,” and that's the end [...]

April 29, 2006Posted by Roger Overton With the large number of books being published these days, one might think there are ample books already available on any given subject. The subject of the Gentleman may be a counter-example to that idea. Brad Miner’s book, The Compleat Gentleman, attempts to fill the void of books describing and defending the virtues of a [...]

April 22, 2006Posted by Roger Overton If the way I’ve described the roles and purposes of men and women are accurate, then in a culture that has sought to distort these roles any attempt to restore them should produce some positive results. If the root problem has to do with man’s sin, then repentance of sin is part of the solution. [...]

April 14, 2006Posted by Roger Overton Certainly my explanation of the problem of Radical Feminism is not without disagreement from some, and so likely will the solution I offer here. I offer it with the explicit warning I may be way off. But even if that is the case, I think my solution has some merit. Wherein lies the problem, therein [...]

March 25, 2006Posted by Roger Overton We must begin at an important distinction on a historical level. The term “Feminism” has been applied in various ways to various time periods and ideologies. Most simplistically, though, we can categorize feminism into two forms. The most historic form sought to restore the equal value of men and women within a culture. Movements that [...]

March 17, 2006Posted by Roger Overton Ms. Kipnis was right about feminism, in that its goal is to find equality with men. It seeks to overthrow a history of abusive male oppression, at least as perceived by the feminists. It is built on the historical understanding (whether right or wrong) that women have been treated as weak and inferior to men, [...]
