I ran across this article the other day. It starts out: Glenna twists a Kleenex in her hands and looks out the window of the counseling office. The Crayola-blue sky belies the storm within her. “I have these awful images,” she whispers. “I see children and they’re being hurt.” Her voice breaks off. “What kind […]
Today I’d like to write about two philosophical and theological positions: patriarchalism (as defined by the feminists and egalitarians) and egalitarianism.

You can find this whole article here. It is authored by Jared Oliphint. Why do we put the adjectives “biblical” … in front of “counseling”?
