Welcome to CBE International’s (CBE) 2017 Bookstore Catalog. We hope you enjoy browsing the resources. Each resource we carry has been evaluated by our team of reviewers to ensure that it furthers CBE’s mission and vision. CBE Bookstore has long been a prominent part of CBE’s ministry, promoting CBE’s mission by providing a place to find egalitarian resources. And, it has helped sustain CBE’s ministry financially. However, the publishing and retail landscape have changed, and after years of conversation and prayer, we have concluded that the bookstore ministry is in need of a new direction. To be better stewards of CBE resources, CBE Bookstore is moving to Amazon. CBE will continue to review and recommend egalitarian resources to the Christian community, and your purchase through CBE’s Amazon bookstore will continue to generate support for CBE’s ministry. Even the website address will remain the same: cbebookstore.org. CBE International (CBE) is a nonprofit organization of Christian men and women who believe that the Bible, properly interpreted, teaches the fundamental equality of men and women of all ethnic groups, all economic classes, and all age groups, based on the teachings of Scriptures such as Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (NIV 2011).

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of the universe, eternally existing as three persons equal in power and glory. We believe in the full deity and the full humanity of Jesus Christ. We believe that eternal salvation and restored relationships are only possible through faith in Jesus Christ who died for us, rose from the dead, and is coming again. This salvation is offered to all people. We believe the Holy Spirit equips us for service and sanctifies us from sin. We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, is reliable, and is the final authority for faith and practice. We believe that women and men are equally created in God’s image and given equal authority and stewardship of God’s creation. We believe that men and women are equally responsible for and distorted by sin, resulting in shattered relationships with God, self, and others.
WHAT WE DO
CBE’s ministry revolves around several core components. Publications. We publish an academic journal, Priscilla Papers, and a popular magazine, Mutuality, quarterly. These award-winning publications are available by mail with a paid subscription or for free on CBE’s website. In addition, we publish a blog with a weekly e-newsletter, Arise. Bookstore. CBE Bookstore is the place to find the best resources on the biblical perspective on the equal service and authority of men and women. Each book we carry or recommend has been reviewed for quality and relevance to CBE’s mission. Conferences. Each year, we host an international conference with some of the top scholars and speakers in the world. Our conferences educate, encourage, and equip our community to share about the biblical basis for the shared authority of men and women in their homes, churches, and cultures. Organizational Membership. Whether your church or organization is exploring biblical equality or is already committed to it, CBE membership provides you with resources and support. CBE organizational members receive free subscriptions to our publications and conference registration discounts, as well as other benefits. Chapters. Chapters are CBE’s hands and feet in communities around the world. Chapters are a way for local CBE members and supporters to connect and minister together. They often host lectures, meet for mutual encouragement, represent CBE at regional conferences, and serve their communities together.

Black and White Bible, Black and Blue Wife My Story of Finding Hope after Domestic Abuse Ruth A. Tucker Zondervan 2016 | 206 pages
Ruth Tucker recounts a harrowing story of abuse at the hands of her husband, a well-educated, charming preacher no less, in hope that her story would help other women caught in a cycle of domestic violence and offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors. Weaving together stories with reflection on biblical, theological, historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers in a doctrine of male headship.

Healing Voices consists of 11 real-life stories of women who survived various forms of violence (domestic violence, rape, incest, and other violent acts), with their “common thread” being the realization they survived because of their faith in God. Some of the women have chosen to remain anonymous, but all want their stories to be heard to inspire hope and renewal for other women who may be in abusive relationships, or who are recovering from such experiences.

An Introduction to Womanist Biblical Interpretation Nyasha Junior Westminster John Knox 2016 | 176 pages
This book offers a much-needed introduction to womanist approaches to biblical interpretation. It argues that womanist biblical interpretation is not simply a by-product of feminist biblical interpretation, but part of a distinctive tradition of African American women’s engagement with biblical texts. While womanist biblical interpretation is relatively new in the development of academic biblical studies, African American women are not newcomers to biblical interpretation. This excellent and accessible resource is perfect for introducing readers to the development and applications of womanist biblical interpretation. Price: $30.00 9780664259877

Colossians & Philemon The Two Horizons New Testament Commentary Marianne Meye Thompson Eerdmans 2005 | 297 pages Marianne Meye Thompson shows how Colossians and Philemon provide a unique formulation of the gospel in terms of creation and reconciliation rather than justification by faith. In Colossians she finds an overarching narrative of the Bible’s grand creation-redemption story and an important emphasis on the relationship between creation and Christology, while her exploration of Philemon casts brighter light on the significance of Paul’s familial metaphors for the church and the meaning of new humanity in Christ.

Women and Men One in Christ Denise Cooper-Clarke, Kevin Giles, eds. CBE Melbourne 2017 | 82 pages
While in many countries, women have been granted equality in law, serving as heads of state, judges, professors, army generals and more, they are still excluded from leadership in many churches. This exclusion is based on an appeal to the Bible where it is claimed women were set under men in creation before the fall, and thus their subordination is a God-given ideal. Many of the most able and well-known evangelical scholars have argued that this is simply a misreading of the Scriptures. In this book, speakers from the CBE conference in Melbourne, Australia, “Better Together,” explore women leaders in the Old Testament, Jesus’ relationship with women, Paul’s writing on women, and the Trinity as grounds for subordination.

Daughters of Deliverance Lorry Lutz Heritage Beacon Fiction 2016 | 300 pages
Bone of My Bones Cynthia Gaw Resource Publications 2015 | 168 pages
Based on the life of activist and scholar Katharine Bushnell, Lutz combines solid research and gripping storytelling to present the story of a woman who changed the world.
Bone of My Bones fictionalizes biblical equality and mutuality. The “complementarian” debate usually focuses on the realm of theory, and stereotypes the lived experience and the people who suffer from the contemporary church’s brand of sexism. This novel fleshes out many popular gender ideas, and explores how and why these conflict with biblical truth.
In 1886, thirty-one-year-old Katharine Bushnell gives up her medical practice to work with women living on Hell’s Half Acre in Chicago and in the brutal lumber camps of Wisconsin. Motivated by her passion to see women released from bondage, Kate prepares a report on her findings of the women’s trials and torments. When Wisconsin’s governor demands Kate defend her report to the state legislature, will they believe her or brand her a liar? Price: $14.95 9781938499821

Along with providing an interpretation, Japinga demonstrates how the character’s story has been read in Christian tradition and offers sermon ideas that connect contemporary issues to each story. This book is ideal for pastors who want to know more about the many women of the Old Testament and learn how to better incorporate them into their sermons. Price: $20.00 9780664259693

Wealth in Ancient Ephesus and the First Letter to Timothy Fresh Insights from Ephesiaca by Xenophon of Ephesus Gary G. Hoag Eisenbrauns 2015 | 258 pages In this volume, Hoag introduces Ephesiaca and employs a socio-rhetorical methodology to explore it alongside other ancient evidence and five passages in 1 Timothy (2:9–15; 3:1–13; 6:1–2a; 6:2b–10; and 6:17–19). His findings augment our modern conception of the Sitz im Leben of the wealthy in Ephesus. Additionally, because Ephesiaca contains some rare terms and themes that are found in 1 Timothy, this groundbreaking research offers fresh insight for biblical reading and interpretation.

Insight into Two Biblical Passages Anatomy of a Prohibition 1 Timothy 2:12, the TLG Computer, and the Christian Church by Leland E. Wilshire UPA 2010 | 154 pages
In the second volume of his two-volume comprehensive overview of the theological and ethical thought world of the New Testament, Ben Witherington III focuses on the collective witness of New Testament writers. The New Testament, says Ben Witherington, is “like a smallish choir. All are singing the same cantata, but each has an individual voice and is singing its own parts and notes. If we fail to pay attention to all the voices in the choir, we do not get the entire effect. . . . [this] volume will attempt to re-create what it might have sounded like had they ever gotten together and performed their scores to produce a single masterful cantata.”
This work comprises new insights into two Biblical passages. The author provides support for the interpretation of the key word “authentein” from 1 Timothy 2:12 as “committing violent action,” not “having authority.” He then explores the effect of this interpretation on exegesis, gender pronouncements, hermeneutics, tradition, theology, and relevance. The second insight study discusses seeing the “suffering servant” of Isaiah 40–66 as the city of Jerusalem. Price: $31.99 9780761852070

A Woman’s Place A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World Katelyn Beaty Howard Books 2016 | 272 pages
“She is a godly woman.” “True love waits.” Are these phrases and many others about gender truly based in Scripture, or based on dusty, outdated stereotypes? If Eve Only Knew offers a fresh perspective on gender and the Bible with the freeing proclamation grounded in Jesus’ ministry and found everywhere in Scripture: that we are all created in God’s image, and by relying on our gifts and skills—rather than on genderdesigned roles—we become all God means for us to be.
Women today inhabit and excel in every profession, yet many Christian women wonder about the value of work outside the home. Katelyn Beaty insists it’s time to reconsider women’s work. Starting with the Bible’s approach to work—including the creation story, the Proverbs 31 woman, and New Testament models—Beaty shows how women’s roles in Western society have changed; how the workhome divide came to exist; and how the Bible offers models of women in leadership. Beaty urges all believers into a better framework for imagining career, ambition, and calling.

Matthew names five women in the family tree of Jesus: Tamar, a forgotten daughter-in-law and widow; Rahab, a prostitute; Ruth, a foreigner; the wife of Uriah, an adulteress; and of course Mary, a young virgin. This Advent study explores the stories of each of these five women, showing how they all played a pivotal role in God’s purposes. This Bible study is designed to be used by individuals and small groups during Advent. In addition to the main content, each chapter offers questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the week. Price: $12.99 9781501824289
Influenced by the patriarchy of Roman culture and ancient Greek philosophy, church leaders in the 3rd and 4th centuries began to translate and interpret the Bible with a systematic bias against women. This bias was carried over into the Protestant Reformation, and it continues to influence how the Bible is read and understood today. Written to help readers identify and remove patriarchal bias from Bible translation and commentary, this workbook also focuses on helping women to recover from the harmful effects of patriarchy.

With gracious irreverence, Ruth A. Tucker offers engaging and candid profiles of some of the most fascinating women of Christian history.

These portraits of women who changed the world—some in small ways, some in significant ways—will spark lively discussion and inspire you to a life of faithful witness.
From facing wild beasts in the arena to governing the Roman Empire, Christian women—as preachers and philosophers, martyrs and empresses, virgins and mothers—influenced the shape of the church in its formative centuries. This book provides in a single volume a nearly complete compendium of extant evidence about Christian women in the second through fifth centuries. It highlights the social and theological contributions they made to shaping early Christian beliefs and practices, integrating their influence into the history of the patristic church and showing how their achievements can be edifying for contemporary Christians.

Carrying On the Great Tradition Rediscovering Strong Christian Women of History Jennifer Dunham CBE 2012 | 36 pages | PDF, Kindle, Nook, Apple iBook, and Google Play The rich history of the church is built on the shoulders not only of men, but also of countless women, most of whose stories are rarely told. The lives of such women testify to the power of the gospel to shatter the barriers that divide us by gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. In Carrying On the Great Tradition, you will meet six heroic women. Their stories represent only a miniscule portion of the cloud of witnesses that surrounds us—women and men who have answered God’s call no matter the cost. Price: $4.00 B009HDNBS4
