"The Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-33): A Problematic Wedding,"
Carolyn Osiek, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2002.
 | "The passage in Ephesians that compares the union of
husband and wife to that of Christ and the church is a favorite ecclesial
image, yet it has always been problematic." |
|

"Being Subject as We Sing," Randy Cooper, (other resources at)
"Singing Our Lives," Christian Reflection, 2006.
| "Singing 'psalms and hymns and spiritual songs'
is a political act that challenges all human categories and
divisions." |

"Theological Foundations for Male-Female Relationships," Stanley J Grenz,
Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 1998.
|
"A good relationship is one in which each member
willingly and actively devotes whatever he or she has to give to the
well-being of the other." |

"The
Changing Role of Women in the Early Christian World,"
Howard Clark Kee, University of Pennsylvania. Theology Today,
1992.
| "If the church in our time
were to take with full seriousness the radical openness toward women
and their participation in the life of God's people that
characterized the movement at the outset, it could result in a
significant contribution toward renewal of both the church and the
human race." |
|
|
"Blurring
the Boundaries: A Response to Howard C. Kee,"
Virginia Burrus, The Theological School at Drew University. Theology
Today, 1992.
| "...a blurring of
religious or cultural boundaries in our historical
reconstructions may cut against the smugness that frequently
creeps into Christian discussions of Judaism and other religious
traditions. The roots of a distinctive Christian feminism would
appear to be entangled in Jewish and pagan traditions, rather
than emerging in pure and radical opposition to those
traditions. Second, a blurring of chronological boundaries in
our historical reconstructions may cut against the tendency to
locate orthodox or authentic Christianity almost purely in a
statically defined "golden age" of the distant past.
After all, how liberating is it for Christian women to be
invited to focus exclusively on "the insights of Jesus and
Paul"?" |
