“Rather than claiming that our side is taking the Bible seriously and the other side is playing fast and loose with it, we need to be honest about which verses we prioritize and why, and reason together (with people who disagree with us) about what God demands of us in the here and now.”
Kaitlyn Schiess, The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here

Dorothy L. Sayers
“It's so much better to do things neatly and properly, even stupid things.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Clouds of Witness

“Luke could've easily cut this scene between Mary and Elizabeth without disrupting the narrative. But he gives space for us to hear prophetic words from both these women--words that have echoed through the centuries--because Mary and Elizabeth are not only the biological mothers of Jesus and John. They also act as prophetesses in their own right. When it comes to women's unique ability to bear children, it's easy to make one of two mistakes: to overvalue childbearing, as if it's the primary reason why women exist, or to undervalue it, as if creating new life doesn't matter. The full-orbed picture Luke gives us of these two pregnant women helps us not to fall into either trap.”
Rebecca McLaughlin, Jesus through the Eyes of Women: How the First Female Disciples Help Us Know and Love the Lord

Amy Peeler
“The proof of an appropriate incarnational view of God appears, it seems to me, in the strictures for church leadership. Just as men are encouraged to imagine themselves as members of the bride, women should be freely encouraged to imagine themselves as members of Christ the bridegroom. As men can represent the church, so can women represent Christ.”
Amy Peeler, Women and the Gender of God

Amy Peeler
“By seeing women represent God, every woman knows that she, in her distinct embodiment, is included in Christ along with and no less than her fellow male confessor. She fully bears the image of God. Kathy Keller offers the encouragement that both men and women “get to play the Jesus role,” but with men demonstrating his servant authority and women his submissive servanthood. I agree with the encouragement, but not the bifurcation. The incarnation opens the door to all standing in Christ’s authority, which is expressed in Christ’s service. Jesus’s particular embodiment, and faithful life, denies and fracture of his unified nature along sexed lines.”
Amy Peeler, Women and the Gender of God
