Jul 28, 2017 · The Bible uses many strong terms to describe unbelief, including hardening, twisting, blindness, deafness, unnaturalness, lies, deception, folly, rebellion and madness, but none repays reflection more than Paul’s phrase in Romans.

Oct 6, 2023 · The story tells us about power dynamics between men and women and between women and women in a society where the primary function of women was the ability to produce male children. Hagar becomes pregnant and Sarah cannot contain her jealousy.
Apr 29, 2024 · Misbeliefs, or misunderstandings about biblical teachings, can significantly impact a believer’s spiritual life and growth. Addressing these errors is crucial for nurturing a healthy, biblically aligned faith.
Mar 18, 2015 · Generally, the biblical woman is discerning, gracious, generous, and kind. Generally, women are given a role defined by family and the home. Rather than seeking to control or manipulate men, the biblical woman is focused on the Lord, and her husband, children, and home (if married).

As society gradually deteriorated to an androcentric, patrilocal, and patriarchal society, woman and her reproductive capacities were largely treated as male property to ensure patrilineal descent. In the original creation, child-bearing is a God-given privilege, and fruitfulness is a divine blessing essential for having dominion. Accordingly, in r...
The unfulfilled call to subdue and have dominion over creation appears to find its distorted outlet in human-to-human domination, epitomized in the typical post-fall patriarchal order predicted in the divine pronouncement “he will rule over you” (Gen. 3:16b). However, there are cases in which mutual authority between wife and husband prevailed with...
A census taken on the 40th year of the exodus for the purpose of dividing the Promised Land among the tribes (and then by clans) indicates that the property was distributed to sons. Five unmarried young daughters of Zelophehad (Mahlah, Noa, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah) boldly and effectively challenged this pre-Israelite law as being inadequate. Out...
There are two Old Testament books dedicated to heroic women, Ruth and Esther, composed after their time. There are other texts that were composed by extraordinary women. Proverbs 31, which includes an impressive acrostic poem, is attributed to the queen mother of king Lemuel (Prov. 31:1). Deborah’s song (Judg. 5:1-31), which celebrates a military v...
There were female rescuers mediating and foreshadowing God’s character and acts, especially the deliverance of the vulnerable from oppression and death. These redemptive women fulfilled their roles as “helpers”9 (Gen. 2:18) of the weak and oppressed and thwarters of the plans and powers of formidable enemies of God. Several stories from early in th...
Women served God-given purposes not only in private sectors, but sometimes in public and religious domains. One of prominent gifts and positions for women was prophet, who received, proclaimed, and interpreted divine revelation. This function is consistent with the fact that she is made in the image of God to commune with God and make God known to ...
A few texts testify to female Levites’ participation in the ministry of the tabernacle. For example, Exodus 38:8 takes for granted that there were women Levites serving (ṣāvā’) at the tent of meeting. Accordingly, 1 Samuel 2:22 shows women serving at the tent of meeting during the time of the pre-Monarchical period (although the male priests’ sexua...
Although many may remember Eve as the uneducated gullible woman, she was created as the “queen” to rule over God’s creation on earth. Yahweh formed the woman as “the helper” (an epithet often used of God as the deliverer, e.g. Exodus 18:4; Psalms 33:20; 70:5; 115:9, 10, 11; Hosea 13:9) equal to the man (Gen. 2:18). She was to share the responsibili...
But since the fruitfulness of one’s life will be judged not so much by what role we played or what important position we held or how much power or authority we had, but by how well we loved, it seems appropriate to end this reflection on the role of women with the call to love well. There were women who passionately loved Jesus and faithfully follo...
The numerous examples of redeemed women who are in turn redemptive agents in the Bible far out weigh a handful of texts that temporarily restricted women’s role in the public or ecclesial contexts (such as in 1 Tim. 2:11-15 due to inadequate education). Patriarchy and its effects do not represent God’s ultimate purpose for women in the Bible. The l...
