Headcoverings and Hair: What's Your Hermeneutic?

Can you see her tongue planted firmly in her cheek? Rachel Held Evans would be the first to throw that scarf out and cut her hair short, but a literalist reading of the Bible says she can't if she wants to be a godly wife. I sure hope her husband, Dan, prays with his hands lifted up . . . wait. Nobody in my church requires any of that stuff. So how do we interpret passages from the Bible that talk about this? It's called hermeneutics : the rules by which we analyze scripture so that we can then apply the commands, principles, and timeless truths found within it. Scholars have disagreed for centuries on the best way to do hermeneutics. And there are several steps involved. But biblical scholars do continue to uphold one hermeneutical rule: context is king. Corinth Had Issues Let's address the issue in Rachel's photo here: The city of Corinth was well-known in the first century for promiscuity, being the center of worship to the god of w...

Tooth Fairy Economics Hey you moms out there! Check out this article on the common conundrum of how much the Tooth Fairy is giving kids these days. Parents--and yes, I could have been interviewed for this--can't seem to figure out the going rate. You'll love some of the creative decision-making processes different moms and dads go through. My favorite: the dad and step-dad who decided together, so one wouldn't make the other look bad, to price each tooth according to size! LOL! So how does your child's rate of return compare to your own when you were losing your baby teeth? I remember quarters for "important" ones like molars, and dimes for others. If I got 75 cents total for any one tooth, I was a happy girl that day. My son: $5 (from Grandma!) for the first one--she set the bar high--and between 75 cents and a buck for others since. He thinks he's getting ripped off if it's less than $1. Kids these days...

Team Writing My coauthor, Sue, and I have recently begun destroying a small forest...we bring ever-growing piles of chapter drafts to our weekly editorial meetings. Each chapter is at least 12 pages and bears many red or blue scribbles, scratch outs, and new ideas. These meetings also include two women who believe in the message of our WIP (work in progress). Eva and Lesa have enthusiastically offered their editorial, research, and writing support. While Sue and I began this work back in January (officially), we started meeting as a foursome only in late May. But what a team God has put together! Eva is Sue's student intern at DTS. She asked to use her intern hours--400 of them--on this WIP, which addresses the biblical definition of the church as family, specifically focusing on men and women as brothers and sisters in Christ. Eva's interest in ancient Jewish culture and her research talents are proving to be of great value to us. She is about to present us with a chapter int...
