I believe that most, if not all, of the restrictions on women in society have no basis in Scripture, and that those maintained in the Church are based on an inadequate interpretation of a few restrictive passages, which put them in contradiction with the manifest special concern and love of God for women articulated from Genesis to Revelation.

All month long, we’re exploring every detail of several ​ ​ personal encounters Jesus had with women from all walks of life. You might be surprised to learn how Jesus understood the role of women in his life and ministry, and what that might mean for us today. Before We Begin...

  • Confucian Protestant Churches Crossing the Pacific: a Sociological Study of Pre-Christian Asian Influences on Korean Immigrant Churches in America
    CONFUCIAN PROTESTANT CHURCHES CROSSING THE PACIFIC: A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF PRE-CHRISTIAN ASIAN INFLUENCES ON KOREAN IMMIGRANT CHURCHES IN AMERICA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Byung Kwan Chae May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Terry Rey, Advisory Chair, Religion Dr. Sydney D. White, Religion Dr. Leonard Swidler, Religion Dr. Kimberly A. Goyette, External Member, Sociology © Copyright 2014 by Byung Kwan Chae All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a sociological exploration of Korean Protestant immigrant churches in the United States and the influence of Confucian traditions on them. Neo- Confucianism was accepted as the state ideology in Korea in the late fourteenth century, and its influences are still strong in Koreans’ expressions of thought and worldviews, and Korean immigrants in the United States are no exception. Confucian elements are observed not only in Korean Protestant churches in Korea but also Korean immigrant churches in the United States. Thus, it can be said that Korean immigrant churches have the characteristics of a transnational religious institution. Transnationally, Confucian characteristics affect Korean churches. Further, Confucian traditions are integral to a collective consciousness for Korean immigrants, and thus their relationships and manners, based on Confucian traditions and teachings, enable them to maintain and reinforce their social solidarity. Moreover, such Confucian teachings and cultural mores are inculcated in most Koreans’ habitus. As social agents, church members use symbolic capital, such as age and Confucian manners, to gain higher status in the church. In particular, age can be considered generational capital that determines and legitimizes church members’ positions.

  • Ideological Continuity from the Protestant Reformation to the German Peasants’ War, 1517-1526
    THE RADICAL GOSPEL: IDEOLOGICAL CONTINUITY FROM THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION TO THE GERMAN PEASANTS’ WAR, 1517-1526 Cassandra McMurry History 200: Doing History Professor Katherine Smith December 15 2014 1 The rhetoric of the Protestant Reformation, while advocating a new conception of piety and worship that flew in the face of traditional Catholic doctrine, also shaped a new conception of a social group often considered apolitical, simplistic, and passive: the peasantry. To help garner support for their cause, beginning in 1520 Reformation adherents (Reformers) began to represent the peasantry with a fictional peasant they named Karsthans, who frequently appeared in distributed woodcuts as part of Reformation propaganda. Karsthans is commonly depicted standing at the literal center of religious change—at the side of Martin Luther himself—as a powerful and devoted peasant soldier, wielding a flail to defend the word of God.1 Scholars such as R. W. Scriber have termed this new understanding of the peasants’ role in Reform the birth of the ‘Evangelical Peasant’ as a “presiding guardian” over the new religious rhetoric of the Protestant Reformation.2 The Reformers aimed to dismantle the power of the Catholic hierarchical system by advocating that the faithful make direct contact with God rather than going through a priest by means of confession, an egalitarian doctrine based on their new interpretation of the Bible. These theologians imagined that the political impetus of their challenge to hegemonic Catholic tradition would come from the lowest orders of society, the common man was thought to be “closer to God” and therefore distinctly qualified to lead a Protestant movement to defend Scripture.3 In late 1524 and early 1525 the peasants of the region which is now Germany, Austria, and Switzerland rose against their lords, demanding changes to social and political institutions such as the church and the lord-vassal relationship, as well as advocating community governance.

  • The Pauline Response to Today's Sexual and Gender
    MSJ 28/2 (Fall 2017) 145–66 THE PAULINE RESPONSE TO TODAY’S SEXUAL AND GENDER CONFUSION Brad Klassen Associate Professor of Bible Exposition The Master’s Seminary Two arguments are commonly offered by those in the church who are sympa- thetic towards the LGBTQ movement. Some contend that the biblical writers were simply unaware of the complexities of same-sex attraction and transgenderism. Others contend that the church over the past two millennia woefully misinterpreted the biblical writers. The first argument undermines Scripture’s sufficiency. The sec- ond undermines Scripture’s clarity. The purpose of this article is to survey the teaching of the apostle Paul in response to these claims. In particular, attention will be focused on the emphases of Paul in the areas of anthropology (the doctrine of man), hamartiology (the doctrine of sin), and soteriology (the doctrine of salva- tion). As will be seen, Paul not only deals directly with many of the issues being de- bated today, but he leaves a timeless theological framework through which to re- spond to these issues in our day. * * * * * Introduction The pace of change taking place in the culture around us today is nothing short of stunning. This astonishing transformation is particularly observable in our cul- ture’s attitude towards sexuality and gender. What was considered utterly unimagi- nable by the previous generation is now commonplace. Acts of Congress affirmed by overwhelming majorities to defend the good of the nation just two decades ago are now considered hateful.1 Sadly, much of what has occurred in the culture is mirrored in the church at large.

  • 14. Philosophy of Christian Feminism
    INTERNATIONAL J OURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ISSN : 2277-7881 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1, APRIL 2012 PHILOSOPHY OF CHRISTIAN FEMINISM Dr. John Christopher Kommalapudi Department of Philosophy Andhra University,Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh,India Feminist philosophy of religion poses feminist questions about religious texts, traditions, and practices, often with the aim of evaluating, redefining, or reconstructing in the light of gender discriminations. Feminist philosophy provides a critical understanding of various religious concepts that defines, sanctions, and sometimes challenges gender roles and gender-inflected representations. The first wave of feminism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries included an increased interest in the place of women in religion. Women who were campaigning for their rights began to question their inferiority both within the church and in other spheres justified by church teachings.1 Katharine Bushnell (1856-1946) was a Christian writer, physician, medical missionary to China, and Bible scholar skilled in both Hebrew and Greek, and social activist. Of particular interest to her was the status of women in the Bible, believing it had been mistranslated and misinterpreted. She was a forerunner of feminist theology. Her lifelong quest was for biblical affirmation of the integrity and equality of women.2 Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard (1839-1898) was an American educator, temperance reformer, and women’s suffragist. Her influence was instrumental in the passage of the Eighteenth (Prohibition) and Nineteenth (Women Suffrage) Amendments to the United States Constitution. Willard became the national president of the World Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, or World WCTU, in 1879, and remained president for 19 years. She developed the slogan “Do everything” for the women of the WCTU to incite lobbying, petitioning, preaching, publication, and education.

  • Christianity and Korean Higher Education in the Late Choson Period
    Christian Higher Education, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 85-99, 2002 Taylor & Francis Ltd. (The U.S. & The U.K.) ISSN 1536-3759/(2002) 1(1) Christianity and Korean Higher Education in the Late Choson Period Jeong-Kyu Lee, Ph.D. Korean Educational Development Institute/Hongik University Seoul, South Korea Abstract This article examines particular aspects of higher education during the late Korean Choson period. The context of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism between the early 18th and the late 19th centuries is presented. Also examined is Christian higher education during these two centuries. The impact of Christianity on Korean higher education concludes the discussion. Historically, the first contact that Koreans experienced with Christianity was in the Korean Peninsula during the late sixteenth century (Clark, 1981; Grayson, 1985; Janelli et al., 1989; Kim, 1995). The introduction of Roman Catholicism to Korea was traced back to the time (1592) of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s Korea invasion. One of the Japanese generals of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s armies, Konishi Yukinaga, was a Roman Catholic. According to Konishi’s request in early 1594, a Jesuit priest, Father Gregorio de Cespedes, arrived within two months, accompanied by a Japanese brother. Although they performed their missionary duties amongst the Japanese soldiers, there is no evidence to indicate that their stay had any influence on Korean religion (Clark, 1981; Grayson, 1985; Kim, 1995). 1 Historic Synopsis of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism in Korea Roman Catholicism Catholic mission activities were practiced among Koreans as early as the 17th century, and the religion drew its first Korean convert, Seung-hun Lee, who with his friends established the first Korean Catholic church in 1784 (Choi, 1996; Kang, 1995; Suh, 1996).

  • The Authority of Women Hosts of Early Christian Gatherings in the First and Second Centuries C.E
    Kaisa-Maria Pihlava THE AUTHORITY OF WOMEN HOSTS OF EARLY CHRISTIAN GATHERINGS IN THE FIRST AND SECOND CENTURIES C.E. Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Helsinki in lecture hall 6 on the 19th of November 2016 at 10 a.m. ISBN 978-951-51-2651-1 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-2652-8 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2016 ABSTRACT This study examines women hosts of early Christian gatherings and the authority they had in their early Christian communities. Although early Christian home gatherings and early Christian women have been studied extensively, women who hosted early Christian gatherings have thus far been given only occasional attention. The aim of this study is to write women hosts into the narratives of early Christian beginnings more fully than has been done before. According to numerous early Christian texts, Christ-believers often gathered at homes. Some of these homes had women heads of households (e.g. Acts 12:12, 16:14-15, 40; Col. 4:15). In addition, some early Christian texts may allude to women hosts of early Christian gatherings (e.g. Ign. Pol. 8:2; Ign. Smyrn. 13:2). Even these few sources imply that gathering at women’s homes might have been a more common phenomenon than early Christian writings indicate. This study utilizes social-historical and post-structural approaches. Accordingly, both the social-historical setting and the literary representations of women hosts will be researched. The research discusses various literary and non- literary ancient sources that pertain to early Christian domestic gatherings, non- Christian women heads of households in antiquity, and women benefactors.
