In this issue of the journal we profile some of the most significant gender-related articles from 2007. Here is a brief reminder about the categories we are using and our intent in using them. Complementarian designates an author who recognizes the full personal equality of the sexes, coupled with an acknowledgment of role distinctions in the home and church, as articulated in the Danvers Statement (see back cover of JBMW). Egalitarian classifies evangelicals who see undifferentiated equality (i.e., they see no scriptural warrant for affirming male headship in the home or the church). Under the Non-Evangelical heading, we have classified important secular works that address the subject of biblical gender issues from a religious, albeit, non-evangelical point of view. This category also serves as our classification for liberal scholars wanting to retain some sort of Christian identity. Finally, under the Undeclared heading, we have listed those authors who do not give sufficient indication of their fundamental stance for us to classify them more specifically, or authors whose position is too ambiguous to classify in light of the category descriptions above.

Bjerkaas, Robert. “‘And Adam Called His Wife’s Name Eve’: A Study in Authentic Biblical Manhood.” Journal for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood 12, no. 1 (2007): 16-20.

Drawing principles from the narrative of Genesis 1–3, Bjerkaas explores the implications of Adam’s naming of his wife for biblical manhood. As Adam chose the name “life” for his spouse even after the curses of Genesis 3, Bjerkaas reasons that masculinity as shown in Scripture requires husbands to believe the promises of God, look forward in faith, and initiate in speaking grace and truth to their wives.
