Here we highlight women in the Old Testament, New Testament and in mission since the early days of the church through to the twenty-first century. Some of them are complicated, where there is much to say. Others are only barely remembered, and yet their story is worth knowing. They were created in God's image as a strong rescue, and through the power of the Holy Spirit they prophecy, heal, preach, teach, create, lead, fight, nurture, protect, and disciple others. All-in-all, they provide the church with a window into how women are an integral part of God's story.

- [Answers to Common Questions about Women and the Church](https://www.cbeinternational.org/product/answers-to-common-questions-about-women-and-the-church/) - Most of us have had experiences that make us wonder how Christian men and women should work together in the home, church, and workplace. These questions relate to leadership, submission, sex, divorce, abuse, and God’s original design. We want to be faithful to Jesus, who gave his life to save our own. Yet, what we see and experience in the church seems to contradict what Jesus represented in his life, teachings, death, and resurrection. This course takes these experiences seriously, while also holding the Bible as the inspired word of God. In that spirit, this module will answer common questions that get right to the heart of who we are as men and women created in God’s image. If you are coming to this course with specific questions, feel free to jump to the sections that most relate to your own experiences. Each section will provide easily digestible answers, while also allowing you to go deeper as your time and interest allows.

As a result, the perfect relationship between humanity and God, humanity and creation, and man and woman was ruptured.

While this is understandable, we should seek to interpret the creation events on their own terms, and in their own context. This is important because unlike the early writers of the

- [Endorsement by Sean Callaghan](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-sean-callaghan/) - In my work across the global South, I am struck by the deep need for the work of CBE. The oppression of women and the resultant gender-based violence that is endemic in the communities where I work is all too often underpinned by patriarchal theological perspectives. I celebrate the views and service of CBE.
- [Endorsement by Bill Webb](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-bill-webb/) - The ministry of CBE is absolutely crucial to the body of Christ since it champions the cause of biblical equality around the world. This is no small task; it attempts to carry forward the supreme redemptive act of Jesus into the social fabric of our broken and hurting world.
- [Endorsement by Judy W. Mbugua](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-judy-w-mbugua/) - The ministry of Jesus portrayed that Jesus had a special place in His heart for women. He even welcomed ministry from women. However, religion and cultural beliefs have eroded this. I am a strong believer that a regenerated woman is a daughter of God and a co-heir with Christ. Christian for Biblical Equality is here
- [Endorsement by Bob Rakestraw](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-bob-rakestraw/) - Three reasons why I am a member and enthusiastic supporter of CBE are: (1) the trajectory of biblical theology is clearly in the direction of full equality for women and men; (2) the emphasis of CBE is as much on godly living for women and men personally and in the home as on freedom to

Padgett](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-alan-g-padgett/) - Grounded in the word of God, Christians for Biblical Equality is spreading the good news about equality in Christ for all believers, and stands tall for our liberty in the gospel.

- [Endorsement by Charles J. Scalise](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-charles-j-scalise/) - The gospel declares that Jesus Christ lived and died for all of us—men and women, boys and girls. Sadly, male dominance in both ancient and modern cultures has led many churches to conform to the sin of sexism. God’s call leads to ministries based upon our gifts, not our race, social class or gender. Christians

What more is there to say?
- [Endorsement by Sandra Morgan](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-sandra-morgan/) - I endorse CBE because of the strong theological work they provide that teaches the equality of male and female in God’s creation. Proverbs 31:8 tells us to “Be a voice for those who have no voice; ensure justice for those being crushed” (NLT).

- [Endorsement by David Claydon](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-david-claydon/) - It is amazing how half of the Christian church is prevented from ministry because there has been a reductionist theology which limits a woman’s role in the light of one or two texts of Scripture rather than taking cognition of the whole of Scripture. [CBE] encourages people to be thoroughly biblical in their reflections and
- [Endorsement by Kurt Fredrickson](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-kurt-fredrickson/) - Christians for Biblical Equality, with scriptural conviction and grace, challenges the church to affirm the full participation of men and women in ministry.

- [Endorsement by Greg Boyd](https://www.cbeinternational.org/endorsement/endorsement-greg-boyd/) - Thanks to many committed Christian activists in the 19th century, the western Church woke up to the truth that the practice of slavery, allowed in the New Testament, was not part of God's plan for all time. Yet many segments of the Church today persist in the assumption that the first century limitations placed on
