Mike Winger

Hi friends. This one is long. We decided that, after numerous requests, that it was time to do up a response to Mike Winger on this subject. His series has had some impact in the popular Christian sphere and we felt his work merited some correction and faithful push back. While we try to be fair, there are numerous errors throughout his video.You can find Mike’s video here.Here is the source on Rebecca Groothius written by Dr. Douglas Groothius, published in Priscilla Papers. Here is the resource written by Allison on “Equating Feminism” that won an award. Be sure to become a patron if that suits you.For a similarly exhaustive and rather devastating response to Mike, see the series by Andrew Bartlett and Terran Williams right here. They do not respond to Mike’s first video, but they have responded to every subsequent video.Be sure to share this one widely. Blessings!N&amp;AQ

48: Early Christians, Aspiring Young Scholars, and Twitter with Dr. Nijay K. Gupta

Well, this episode is a deep dive into some really fascinating and complex issues! Dr. Payne is a major influence on our thinking and we were delighted to host him as he shared some stories of his life and a lot about his work in textual criticism. Please find available for free download Phil Payne's summary article that answers the 12 most commonly alleged biblical reasons against the equal standing of man and woman. It puts in 8 pages the core argument of my 511 page book, Man and Woman, One in Christ: An Exegetical and Theological Study of Paul’s Letters (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2009, list $32.99) available for $19.99 at https://www.lingistsoftware.You may also download free a summary of the 6 groundbreaking discoveries identified in Phil Payne's October 2017 New Testament Studies article on the Vaticanus Distigme-obelos symbols. That article was listed as the “Most read” article on the NTS website for at least a year. It is available to download free HERE. Note that the key reasons for regarding 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 as a later addition are unique to this passage and so do not undermine the reliability of any other passage of Scripture.Phil Payne later discovered 8 more Vaticanus distigme-obelos symbols. Most of them are in the sixth column of the open codex, where the distigme was put on the right side of the column to make it easier to see, including the case of the adulteress (John 7:58 - 8:11). All 8 have a gap in the text at the exact point where some other manuscripts add at least four consecutive words that were not in the original text. This makes the case exponentially stronger that this same symbol marking the beginning of 1 Cor 14:34-35 does indeed identify it as a later addition that was not in Paul's original letter. You may also download free Phil Payne's "Critique of Vaticanus Distigme-Obelos Denials" with photographs of the additional 8. Payne also responds to critiques of his work here.Dr. Payne can be contacted at philip.b.payne@gmail.com or through his website.

A podcast dedicated to exploring Christian theology from an evangelical perspective.

I admire the courage and grace of these two so much! These are not easy topics to cover, with so much controversy and division in churches over these things, but there is always a sense of love and care in this podcast. This has been an example to me as I’m trying to learn how to navigate extreme tension in these areas. Highly recommend this podcast!

My new favorite podcast!

39: Violence Prevention at Churches and Schools with Eugene Hung

John MacArthur

Well, here it is! I must say Allison and I are getting pretty good at this!In this episode, we tackle 1 Tim. 3:1-13 and show that it cannot be used in isolation, nor can it be used to exclude women from the office of 'elder' and 'deacon/minister.' We also respond to two main comments by Pastor John MacArthur, and refute his arguments for a male leadership interpretation of this passage. Since MacArthur agrees with us about women deacons (although we do not know how this works out in practice in his church), we did not respond to his comments on women deacons.Rather than being an exclusion of women from either office, 1 Tim. 3:1-13 affirms women's desire to "aspire for these offices in conjunction with God's gifts and God's call in their lives. For resources on this topic, particularly the issue of women deacons in Rom. 16:1-2, 1 Tim. 3:11 and church history, see the work of Jamin Hübner's A Case for Female Deacons (Eugene: Wipf &amp; Stock, 2015).For a modern and compact commentary that is concerned with the dominant masculine translations of 1 Tim. 3:1-13, see Aida Spencer's 1 Timothy (Eugene: Cascade, 2013).Subscribe to us on iTunes and give us a (5 star?) review!

40: Gender, Priesthood and the Imago Dei with Christa McKirland

Jamin Hübner

John Piper

Allison and I originally planned on working through Galatians 3:26-29 (and more specifically through the entire epistle) in this episode, but some interesting events have occurred in the blogosphere that demanded our response.On April 19th, John Piper released a short 10 minute video where he responded to a questioner from the United Kingdom. The questioner asked him about the 'future of male headship' and if it was a 'lost cause.' As can be expected, Piper offered four (one? you'll get it later if you listen to our episode) complementarian reasons why he does not think male headship is a lost cause. You can read/listen to the entire thing here, and Allison and I figured this would be worth a detailed response. In order to best examine and critique Piper's comments, we had on our first guest, Dr. Jamin Hübner! Dr. Hübner is Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Associate Professor at John Witherspoon College in Rapid City, South Dakota. Dr. Hübner is a graduate of Dordt College (BA Theology), Reformed Theological Seminary (MA Religion), and the University of South Africa (ThD). He has also blogged at Christians for Biblical Equality.Dr. Hübner's works include a book called A Case for Female Deacons (a work we have recommended before) and multiple academic articles on various aspects of the gender debate, including peer-reviewed in-depth research on the controversial "assume authority" infinitive in 1 Tim 2:12, Bible translation issues regarding the clarity of Scripture and how to translate the same infinitive in 1 Tim 2:12, and the history of the evolutionary process of complementarian exegesis. So, as you can see, we were deeply blessed to have such a scholar on our podcast! Plus, he's quite fun to chat with as well, as you will see!The Desiring God video includes a transcript of his response to the questioner, and we invite you to read through it as we discuss in great depth why we all believe John Piper is deeply wrong about this issue. As you will see, egalitarians are not interested in merely accommodating culture. Allison, Dr. Hübner and I all came to our position through rigorous analysis of the Biblical texts and we all profess and live into our commitment to the authority of God's word. Speaking only for myself (Nick), if I thought Scripture said otherwise, I would be a committed complementarian. As such, Scripture gets to dictate my beliefs and I remain a convinced egalitarian.Far from being a 'liberal' movement, both Dr. Mimi Haddad (President of CBE) and Allison Quient have shown that egalitarianism is far more rooted in historic evangelicalism than complementarianism. Indeed, a mere perusal of the original signers of the Christians for Biblical Equality statement (a statement absolutely saturated in Holy Scripture) include influential scholars such as F.F. Bruce (who was considered the Dean of Evangelical New Testament scholarship, and is a personal hero of mine), Mimi Haddad, Gordon D. Fee, Kevin Giles, Kenneth Kantzer (formerly of TEDS), Richard Longenecker, Aida Spencer, Grant R. Osborne (of TEDS as well), David Scholer (of Fuller), Alvera Mickelson, and Philip B. Payne (who we have recommended many times!). These are giants in evangelical scholarship, and are not people dedicated to the winds of modern cultural trends.It is also worth your time to read a bit about CBE's history:Disturbed by the shallow biblical premise used by churches, organizations, and mission groups to exclude the gifts of women, evangelical leaders assembled in 1987 to publish their biblical perspective in a new scholarly journal, Priscilla Papers. Included in the group were Gilbert Bilezikian, W. Ward Gasque, Stanley Gundry, Gretchen Gaebelein Hull, Catherine Clark Kroeger, Jo Anne Lyon, and Roger Nicole. The group determined that a national organization was needed to provide education, support, and leadership about biblical equality.Roger Nicole, an original signer of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy and a deeply influential Reformed theologian, saw no issue between his very outspoken egalitarianism and his commitment to the authority of Scripture. Philip B. Payne was also an original signer of the same influential document.Egalitarianism, as argued by all of these brothers and sisters, is grounded firmly in the authority of Holy Scripture.This is why CBE's conferences are so important. Allison and I recorded a video promo for CBE, and if you find it helpful, please share it as well! We'd love to meet and see you in Orlando, FL this July!We would also be deeply grateful if you would share and tweet this podcast to get the word out!

Allison and I originally planned on working through Galatians 3:26-29 (and more specifically through the entire epistle) in this episode, but some interesting events have occurred in the blogosphere that demanded our response.On April 19th, John Piper released a short 10 minute video where he responded to a questioner from the United Kingdom. The questioner asked him about the 'future of male headship' and if it was a 'lost cause.' As can be expected, Piper offered four (one? you'll get it later if you listen to our episode) complementarian reasons why he does not think male headship is a lost cause. You can read/listen to the entire thing <a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-male-headship-a-lost-cause" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, and Allison and I figured this would be worth a detailed response. In order to best examine and critique Piper's comments, we had on our first guest, <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/JaminH%C3%BCbner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Jamin Hübner</a>! Dr. Hübner is Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Associate Professor at John Witherspoon College in Rapid City, South Dakota. Dr. Hübner is a graduate of Dordt College (BA Theology), Reformed Theological Seminary (MA Religion), and the University of South Africa (ThD). He has also <a href="https://www.cbeinternational.org/persons/jamin-h%C3%BCbner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blogged</a> at Christians for Biblical Equality.Dr. Hübner's works include a book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Case-Female-Deacons-Jamin-H%C3%BCbner/dp/1625648847/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492982226&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=jamin+hubner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Case for Female Deacons </a>(a work we have recommended before) and multiple academic articles on various aspects of the gender debate, including peer-reviewed i<a href="https://www.academia.edu/24894058/Revisiting_%CE%B1%E1%BD%90%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%AD%CF%89_in_1_Timothy_2_12_What_Do_the_Extant_Data_Really_Show" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">n-depth research</a> on the controversial "assume authority" infinitive in 1 Tim 2:12, Bible translation issues regarding <a href="https://www.academia.edu/24894019/Revisiting_the_Clarity_of_Scripture_in_1_Timothy_2_12" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the clarity of Scripture</a> and <a href="https://www.academia.edu/24894103/Translating_%CE%B1%E1%BD%90%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%AD%CF%89_in_1_Timothy_2_12" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">how to translate the same infinitive in 1 Tim 2:12</a>, and the <a href="https://www.academia.edu/24894072/The_Evolution_of_Complementarian_Exegesis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">history of the evolutionary process</a> of complementarian exegesis. So, as you can see, we were deeply blessed to have such a scholar on our podcast! Plus, he's quite fun to chat with as well, as you will see!The Desiring God video includes a transcript of his response to the questioner, and we invite you to read through it as we discuss in great depth why we all believe John Piper is deeply wrong about this issue. As you will see, egalitarians are not interested in merely accommodating culture. Allison, Dr. Hübner and I all came to our position through rigorous analysis of the Biblical texts and we all profess and live into our commitment to the authority of God's word. Speaking only for myself (Nick), if I thought Scripture said otherwise, I would be a committed complementarian. As such, Scripture gets to dictate my beliefs and I remain a convinced egalitarian.Far from being a 'liberal' movement, both <a href="https://www.cbeinternational.org/sites/default/files/pp291_4eanptloitedna_2.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Mimi Haddad</a> (President of CBE) and <a href="https://www.cbeinternational.org/sites/default/files/equatingfeminisms.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Allison Quient</a> have shown that egalitarianism is far more rooted in historic evangelicalism than complementarianism. Indeed, a mere perusal of the original signers of the <a href="https://www.cbeinternational.org/sites/default/files/english_3.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christians for Biblical Equality statement </a>(a statement absolutely saturated in Holy Scripture) include influential scholars such as F.F. Bruce (who was considered the Dean of Evangelical New Testament scholarship, and is a personal hero of mine), Mimi Haddad, Gordon D. Fee, Kevin Giles, Kenneth Kantzer (formerly of TEDS), Richard Longenecker, Aida Spencer, Grant R. Osborne (of TEDS as well), David Scholer (of Fuller), Alvera Mickelson, and Philip B. Payne (who we have recommended many times!). These are giants in evangelical scholarship, and are not people dedicated to the winds of modern cultural trends.It is also worth your time to read a bit about CBE's <a href="https://www.cbeinternational.org/content/cbes-history" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">history</a>:Disturbed by the shallow biblical premise used by churches, organizations, and mission groups to exclude the gifts of women, evangelical leaders assembled in 1987 to publish their biblical perspective in a new scholarly journal, Priscilla Papers. Included in the group were Gilbert Bilezikian, W. Ward Gasque, Stanley Gundry, Gretchen Gaebelein Hull, Catherine Clark Kroeger, Jo Anne Lyon, and Roger Nicole. The group determined that a national organization was needed to provide education, support, and leadership about biblical equality.Roger Nicole, an original signer of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy and a deeply influential Reformed theologian, saw no issue between his very outspoken egalitarianism and his commitment to the authority of Scripture. Philip B. Payne was also an original signer of the same influential document.Egalitarianism, as argued by all of these brothers and sisters, is grounded firmly in the authority of Holy Scripture.This is why CBE's conferences are so important. Allison and I recorded a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxALyBGd1-M" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">video promo for CBE</a>, and if you find it helpful, please share it as well! We'd love to meet and see you in Orlando, FL this July!We would also be deeply grateful if you would share and tweet this podcast to get the word out!

17: Women in and beyond Romans 16

Since this episode won't air on Sunday, Happy Mother's Day! In this episode, we had some fun! We went through a lot of Galatians 1-3 for context, and then worked through the parallel passages of Galatians 3:28, as well as the theology within this verse. We also spent a great deal of time answering some listener questions.If you ever have any questions or comments, feel free to email us.Allison wrote a killer article entitled "A Woman's 'Role' as a First-Born Son: Full Justification in Christ Leads to Full Participation." Other helpful works include Philip Payne's entire article on Galatians 3:28 (starting at p.11 in the pdf), a post by Margaret Mowczko, and a Priscilla Paper's article by Faith Martin.Allison writes:Besides, the earthly implications of being a son or heir and the use of common social divisions, what other reason is there to think Gal 3:28 is practically minded and not limited to a justification that is mainly in spirit? It is also evident in parallel passages. The other similar passages are Colossians 3:11 and the baptismal statement 1 Cor 12:13. Both are applied to practical issues within the church and take on some familiar themes.“Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all” (Col 3:9-11). “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many” (1 Cor 12:12-14).  Clearly, unity in Christ is tied to practice.Allison's blog post will help answer any additional questions you may have about this passage, as we could not cover every single detail.

Well hello, welcome to our podcast!

You have the power to determine whether or not Nick suffers. Listen and find out how you must do it.For every 5, Nick eats 1. If this does not make sense, you will need to listen and find out!Recommended resources this week include Payne's work and Craig S. Keener's chapter in Discovering Biblical Equality.

8: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Textual Problems, and Women being Silent

Welcome back!It has been a while, hasn't it?In this episode, Nick and Allison discuss the wide-ranging topic of women in Luke/Acts, touching on various elements of the doctrine of God, the Holy Spirit and Pentecost, how we should read narrative, and commenting on the evangelical tendency to downplay narrative in the quest for 'propositional' truths.Allison also makes Nick (makes, hah!) drink cheap red wine in honor of a certain someone. You can infer who this might be, but we ain't telling.Resources on the topic are vast, but the best English commentary on Luke is by Joel B. Green of Fuller Theological Seminary. A standout commentary that Nick says he reads for fun.

Welcome back!It has been a while, hasn't it?In this episode, Nick and Allison discuss the wide-ranging topic of women in Luke/Acts, touching on various elements of the doctrine of God, the Holy Spirit and Pentecost, how we should read narrative, and commenting on the evangelical tendency to downplay narrative in the quest for 'propositional' truths.Allison also makes Nick (makes, hah!) drink cheap red wine in honor of a certain someone. You can infer who this might be, but we ain't telling.Resources on the topic are vast, but the best English commentary on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Luke-International-Commentary-Testament/dp/0802823157" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luke</a> is by <a href="http://fuller.edu/faculty/jgreen/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joel B. Green</a> of Fuller Theological Seminary. A standout commentary that Nick says he reads for fun. A similarly great volume on the theology of Luke is also by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theology-Gospel-Luke-New-Testament/dp/0521469325/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1500167047&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=theology+of+luke+green" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green</a>.Resources more relevant to the topic discussed in this episode include <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Women-Studies-Named-Gospels/dp/0802849997" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gospel Women: Studies of Women Named in the Gospels</a> by Richard Bauckham as well as his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Eyewitnesses-Gospels-Eyewitness-Testimony/dp/0802874312/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=3CCQZBZKW9EWYT2QZQET" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jesus and the Eyewitnesses</a>, which makes an appearance in this episode.
