According to Scripture, a married woman’s focus and orientation is required to be towards her home. But while the Bible teaches that a woman’s priority is the home (Tit. 2:11), the Bible most emphatically does not teach that a woman’s place is limited to the home.

on 8/14/2004 in General

Computer Guru Son and I have been watching the PBS version of reality TV, the series Frontier House. I checked out a DVD of the entire series at the library, and we’ve watched all but the final episode. In the series, three families from various parts of the U.S. are asked to live on a [...]

Affectionate Patriarchs

on 8/9/2004 in Family

This interview with sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox at the University of Virginia might be of interest to those of my readers who are exploring feminist perspectives on evangelical Christianity.
