The Second Eve Undoes the Curse? — Addressing that Rachel Jankovic blog post, part 2

July 9, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Rachel Jankovic and Douglas Wilson. Sourced from https://vimeo.com/33690002 under Fair Use.

In part ‘0’ of this series, I went through a fairly dry history of how “second Eve” has been used from the time of the early church until now. In part 1, I dug into the Jankovic article on the question of second Eve and how her use of the term creates too much confusion […]

Take Up the Part of Second Eve? — Addressing that Rachel Jankovic Blog Post, part 1

June 17, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Rachel Jankovic and Douglas Wilson. Sourced from https://vimeo.com/33690002 under Fair Use.

In part ‘0,’ I addressed the history of the term “second Eve” with respect to Rachel Jankovic’s post at the Desiring God blog titled “The Second Eve: How Christian Women Undo the Curse.” My own research found a few previously claimed examples of second Eve: Mary Magdalene; Mary, mother of Jesus; Martha and Mary of […]

Everything Egalitarianism and Then Some

April 2, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Do you miss the days not too long ago when the hot social media topics were egalitarianism and social justice instead of virtual church? No? Regardless, here’s everything we’ve written on complementarianism and egalitarianism (so far) in one convenient list. Commentaries Beth Moore the Broken Clock I suppose I should be thankful for God’s use […]

Is Male Headship a Gospel Issue?

February 18, 2020 by Allen Nelson IV

Men, mean, and misogyny all start with the same letter. Obviously, guys are jerks and need to calm down. And women need to be filling the pulpit because the resurrection of Jesus was first announced to women. Believe it or not, that’s the sort of argumentation you get in the Twitterverse when you say anything […]

You Who: Why You Matter and How to Deal with It — Rachel Jankovic (book review)

October 21, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

I have left the below review just as it was before for the time being. —GPO In You Who: Why You Matter and How to Deal with It, author Rachel Jankovic writes against the […]

No More Holding Back — Kat Armstrong (book review, part 4)

August 22, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

In part 1 of this review, we saw Armstrong’s argument that Mary Magdalene is the “second Eve,” thereby meaning that the curse of women being easily deceived ceased at the resurrection. In part 2, we examined Armstrong’s treatment of Ephesians 5:22 and the Hebrew term ezer (“helper” or “companion”) from Genesis 2:16. In part 3, we examined Armstrong’s treatment of Lydia as the ideal […]

No More Holding Back — Kat Armstrong (book review, part 3)

August 14, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

Kat Armstrong’s No More Holding Back: Emboldening Women to Move Past Barriers, See Their Worth, and Serve God Everywhere conveys a certain feminist, idealistic image of a Christian woman who seeks to live out all four aspects of the second greatest commandment. In part 1 of this review, we saw Armstrong’s argument that Mary Magdalene is […]

No More Holding Back — Kat Armstrong (book review, part 2)

Scenes from Black Panther and Braveheart juxtaposed next to book cover of No More Holding Back

In part 1 of this review, we introduced Kat Armstrong’s No More Holding Back: Emboldening Women to Move Past Barriers, See Their Worth, and Serve God Everywhere. We primarily found that Armstrong advocates an over-realized soteriology of women which interprets Mary Magdalene to be the “second Eve,” thereby meaning that the curse of women being easily […]

As Kat Armstrong opens No More Holding Back: Emboldening Women to Move Past Barriers, See Their Worth, and Serve God Everywhere (Thomas Nelson, July 2019), she tells a story of an incident. In the middle of a class at Dallas Seminary, she lamented to her professor, “I’m scared to learn too much about Jesus because I […]

1 Timothy 2:12 Revisited — The Authority Word Problem

March 27, 2019 by Garrett O’Hara

Made by SA007, a bomb suitcase. It is a devious puzzle, which you have to solve by defusing the "bomb" within a 5 minute time-window. After that, it will go off and "explode". Various triggers and switches will set it off prematurely when incorrectly handled. You are allowed to use anything found inside the case plus basic lock-picking tools. It'll beep ominously and also more frequently as the countdown approaches zero and tension rises. It is impossible to get it right on the first try and you will probably hear lots of explosions.

In How to Use a “For” Clause: 1 Timothy 2:12 and Egalitarianism, I explained how the two phrases in verses 13 and 14 should guide our understanding of how Paul uses the verb “do not permit” in verse 12. More recently, I came across Defusing the 1 Timothy 2:12 Bomb, an argument that “there are too […]

Women Professors and the Seminary’s Place in the Church

April 25, 2018 by Garrett O’Hara

Jesus Calling at the Dallas Theological Seminary Book Center

John Piper controversially opined back in January that women should not teach in seminaries. The essential reason he gave is that seminary professors should be models of the pastoral office that seminary students can emulate. I made some thoughts on the topic known on Twitter, but let’s explore this a bit more. Must All Seminary […]

How to Use a “For” Clause: 1 Timothy 2:12 and Egalitarianism

March 29, 2018 by Garrett O’Hara

woman holding peace symbols to face

Did Paul mean in 1 Timothy 2:12 that he is really prohibiting women from teaching or exercising authority over men on a permanent basis? Let’s do some grammar work. 12 I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was […]

The Ignoble Duties of a Noble Task

So you are interested in pastoring, eh? Paul says you desire a noble task (1 Tim. 3:1). And I think many of the tasks involved in pastoral ministry can be seen as noble from other believers on the outside looking in. After all, you get to stand on a platform week in and week out […]

You Must be Born Again: Make Regeneration Great Again

In God’s kind providence, it was a biblical understanding of the great doctrine of regeneration that birthed (I’m not sure if I’m intending the pun or not) the evangelical movement of the 18th century. Sadly, it is also a misunderstanding and underemphasis of this doctrine that has contributed to the unraveling of evangelicalism in the […]

Partnering with Future Churches

What a travesty when local churches are reckless with their doctrinal commitments, soteriological practices, commitment to the Scriptures, worship practices, and church leadership structure all because things are seemingly going “good.” Too many churches take confidence in current worship attendance numbers, weekly offerings, or baptism rates in order to justify practices that are setting up future generations to be taken captive by Babylon, thinking “Why not, if there will be peace and security in my days?”
