The Gender Conversation
Conversations about gender, both inside and outside the church, can frequently degenerate into stale and rancorous disputes in which predictable arguments are traded back and forth, or fade awkwardly away into the tense silences of mutual misunderstanding. But the issue is an important one, and calls for a better conversation than either of those alternatives. In September 2015, Morling College hosted a one-day symposium entitled The Gender Conversation. A rich and diverse mix of contributors met to discuss issues of gender, theology, and Christian living, within a shared framework of evangelical conviction. Our aim in hosting the symposium was to deepen mutual understanding and respect, highlight common ground, clarify points of difference, and unite us all in a quest to learn from the Scriptures and live in the light of the gospel. This book brings together the papers presented at the symposium and the contributors' responses to one another, as a resource for further reflection and discussion.
Rethinking Peter Singer
Who is Peter Singer?What does he say about issues like abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and animal rights? What does he say about Christianity? What exactly is his philosophy?"Peter Singer is probably the world's most famous or infamous contemporary philosopher," says Gordon Preece. Recently appointed as professor of bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values, Singer is best known for his book on animal rights, Animal Liberation, and for his philosophical text Practical Ethics. But underneath his seemingly benign agenda lies perhaps the most radical challenge to Christian ethics proposed in recent times.In Rethinking Peter Singer four of Singer's contemporaries, fellow Aust...
Women's Rights and the Bible
In this volume, Richard Hiers challenges the popular assumption that the Bible has a low view of women and that biblical law either ignores women or requires them to be subject and subservient to men. He does so by identifying and carefully examining hundreds of biblical texts and allowing them to speak for themselves. Among the findings: - that biblical tradition generally represents women positively, as strong and independent persons; - that no text represents wives as subject to their husbands and that no biblical law requires such subjection; - that biblical laws provide many protections for women's rights and interests--in several instances, rights equal to those enjoyed by men. The book focuses particularly on the Old Testament and Old Testament law, and argues that Old Testament laws and their underlying values provide important resources for Christian ethics and social policy today.
Sloan
What do... - an illicit deal - an ex-wife - a gala for the rich - and an assassin lover all have in common? Usually not much, but Sloan will weave magic from it all. The once-idyllic resort town of Riders Bay is no match for a walking tempest. When a beautiful grifter arrives turning heads and causing chaos, she not only heralds a storm but a past she doesn’t want catching up to her. Stuck in a jam, Sloane needs to pull the con of a lifetime in order to stay alive. She sizes up the town and the only man in it who comes anywhere close to meeting her standards. Andy is the most boring guy in the world. Forced to attend yet another Gala for his dad’s accounting firm, he’s struck speechless when the striking enigma in a white dress arrives uninvited and sits next to him. But Sloane has never met anyone quite like Andy… He knows she’s lying. And Andy has never met anyone like Sloane… She nearly kills him. Still, the sizzle between them is undeniable. This work is one chilli pepper hot and rated AA
