“Adam that he himself is without a suitable counterpart” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 53)
“Augustine is the one who said that, ‘If God had created marriage for companionship, He would have made it between two men, not between a man and a woman.’ It was his view that men and women really could not have good mutual companionship, and so he said if God had intended companionship, that marriage is the vehicle for companionship, he would have created two men.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 53)
“The word helper is the same word which is used of the Lord God over and over in the Old Testament when it says things like, the Lord is my help. When we sing ‘O God, our help in ages past’, we are singing the same term which is used of woman here. She is a picture of God coming to the aid and rescue of man.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 53)
“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam, not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him; under his arm to be protected and near his heart to be beloved.’ Derek Kidner says of this passage: ‘The woman is presented wholly as man’s partner and counterpart. Nothing yet is said of her child bearing. She is valued for herself alone.’ That is very important today when families face infertility, because fertility does not make a woman valuable to her husband in and of itself.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 54)
“Evangelical feminists advocate that the analogy of faith principle means the clearer passages should determine the interpretation of the less clear ones.42 They hold that the ‘clear’ text on women’s roles is Galatians 3:2843 or one of other starting points; 1 Corinthians 11:2–16; 14:34–35; and 1 Timothy 2:11–12 are identified as obscure passages.” (Volume 8, Number 2, Page 38)
