  • A Way-Station to Egalitarianism: a Review Essay of Aimee Byrd's Recovering from Biblical Manhood & Womanhood
    A Way-Station to Egalitarianism: A Review Essay of Aimee Byrd’s Recovering from Biblical Manhood & Womanhood Denny Burk Denny Burk is Professor of Biblical Studies at Boyce College, the President of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and Associate Pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Burk earned a ThM from Dallas Theolog- ical Seminary and a PhD from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of What Is the Meaning of Sex? (Crossway, 2013), Transforming Homosexual- ity (P&R, 2015), and a commentary on the pastorals in ESV Expository Commentary: Ephesians-Philemon (Crossway, 2017). Most recently, he co-edited God’s Glory Revealed in Christ: Essays on Biblical Theology in Honor of Thomas R. Schreiner (B&H, 2019). Evangelicals have been debating manhood and womanhood for decades, and the conflict shows no signs of subsiding. No little bit of ink is spilled every year by both sides, and many works have trouble getting through all the noise. Such is not the case with Aimee Byrd’s new book Recovering from Biblical Manhood & Womanhood: How the Church Needs to Rediscover Her Purpose (Zondervan, 2020). The provocative title riffs off the name of the seminal complementarian work Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, edited by John Piper and Wayne Grudem (Crossway, 1991). Byrd takes direct aim at what she believes to be the deficiencies of complementarianism as expounded by its chief proponents, especially the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW). SBJT 24.1 (2020): 163-171 163 The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology 24.1 (2020) Summary Byrd’s Introduction presents the defining metaphor of the book—yellow wallpaper—which comes from a feminist novel authored by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (15).

As this resolution proves, the gains ofwomen in SBC church leadership have not kept pace with the advances of women in the broader American culture in the aftermath of the women 's movement. This lack of symmetry is in large part the result of a conflict between progressivism and increasingly prevalent conservatism in society, politics, the broader religious landscape, and the SBC in particular.

  • Christian Ethics: Responding to Slander
    WAYNE GRUDEM | CHRISTIAN ETHICS: RESPONDING TO SLANDER In wrestling with a biblical response to slander, we contacted my favorite seminary professor, Wayne Grudem. He directed me to his book, Christian Ethics, which is endorsed by Al Mohler and also by one of our church member’s from the Deerfield Road campus, John Kilner. “Insightful, encyclopedic, biblical, and distinctively evangelical, this new book from Grudem is a massive contribution to Christian ethics. It will stand as one of the most important and definitive works of this generation.” — R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “…Grudem’s Christian Ethics is a breath of fresh air. … Where his views are at odds with other views, even within evangelical Christianity, he explains those alternatives to his readers and invites comparisons. Readers are challenged to think and are given the material they need to do so in a God-honoring way.” — John F. Kilner, Director of Bioethics Programs, Trinity International University Here is what Wayne Grudem wrote about responding to slander… — Pastor James MacDonald 2. The Necessity of Responding to Slander. The Westminster Larger Catechism, in further explanation of the ninth commandment, says that it also requires “love and care of our own good name and defending it when need requireth (Question 144). It gives to scripture references in support: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. (Prov. 22:1) Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.” (John 8:49) The second passage illustrates a general pattern in Jesus's ministry.
