I Tertius . . .

Jeff David Miller

Priscilla Papers here begins its thirty-seventh year. As many of our readers know, all issues—dating back to 1987—are freely available at CBEInternational.org. A complete index is online as well.

This issue gathers earlier articles, a best-of collection so to speak. The rational, however, is not simply to reprint our best articles. Rather, the focus of this issue is to re-introduce readers to certain high-quality and still-relevant articles that tackle aspects of the complex problem of violence against women. We’ve included the following:

• 1997: Catherine Clark Kroeger speaks truth to power in a speech given to Washington DC elites, including President Bill Clinton.
• 2006: Scarlet Hai Yin Fung Tsao offers wisdom about various aspects, including legal aspects, of supporting adult survivors of child sexual abuse.
• 2014: Aída Besançon Spencer promotes healthy marriage in an article about the Song of Songs.
• 2015: Chuck Pitts sheds light on the ancient and modern sin of human trafficking through a careful reading of Judges 19.
• 2020: Jessica Stefick examines what Deuteronomy 22, a particularly difficult passage, says about rape.

In addition to the above articles, we have included two new reviews of books published in 2022: Amy Peeler’s Women and the Gender of God (Eerdmans), reviewed by Todd Edmondson, and William Spencer’s Three in One: Analogies for the Trinity (Kregel Academic), reviewed by Christa McKirland.
