The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) is an evangelical Christian organization promoting a complementarian rather than egalitarian, feminist or patriarchal view of gender issues.〔Rosemary Skinner Keller, Rosemary Radford Ruether, and Marie Cantlon (2006), ''Encyclopedia of Women and Religion in North America'', Indiana University Press, (p. 468 ).〕〔Pamela Cochran (2005), ''Evangelical Feminism: a History'', NYU Press, (p. 160 ).〕〔Agnieszka Tennant, "(Nuptial Agreements )," ''Christianity Today'', March 11, 2002.〕 CBMW's current president is Dr. J. Ligon Duncan, III,〔CBMW web site: (Ligon Duncan ), accessed 08 April 2012.〕 who is also the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Mississippi. In January 2013, Dr. Owen Strachan of Boyce College was named Executive Director.〔https://www.cbmw.org/owen-strachan-named-new-cbmw-executive-director/〕 ==History== The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood was organized in 1987.〔CBMW web site: (about us ), accessed 13 Sept 2011.〕〔Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability web site: (Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood ), accessed 13 Sept 2011.〕 Its origins lie with a talk by Wayne Grudem on "Manhood and Womanhood in Biblical and Theological Perspectives" at a 1986 meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), where he invited delegates to join "a new organization dedicated to upholding both equality and differences between men and women in marriage and the church."〔Wayne Grudem, "(Personal Reflections on the History of CBMW and the State of the Gender Debate )," ''JBMW'', Vol. 14 No. 1.〕 This was followed by a meeting in Dallas with Grudem, John Piper, Wayne House, and others.〔 A subsequent meeting was held in Danvers, Massachusetts. Here the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood was finalized.〔Roger E. Olson (2004), ''The Westminster Handbook to Evangelical Theology'', Westminster John Knox Press, (p. 312 ).〕 A full page advertisement containing the full Danvers Statement was published in ''Christianity Today'' in January 1989.〔Daniel T. Rodgers (2011), ''Age of Fracture'', Harvard University Press, (p. 312 ).〕 In 1991, Crossway Books published the organisation's lengthy book, ''Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism''. Edited by Piper and Grudem, this book included contributions by D. A. Carson, John Frame, Vern Poythress, Douglas J. Moo, Paige Patterson, Elisabeth Elliot, and several other writers.〔John Piper and Wayne A. Grudem, eds. (1991), ''Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism'', Crossway Books, table of contents.〕 Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ also supported the organisation.〔John G. Turner (2008), ''Bill Bright & Campus Crusade for Christ: The renewal of Evangelicalism in Postwar America'', UNC Press, (p. 209 ).〕 The Danvers Statement〔("Core Beliefs: The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood." ) Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW), 1987. Web:13 Jul 2010.〕 has been endorsed or adopted by the Southwestern Baptist Seminary〔(The Danvers Statement - Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary )〕 and several independent churches.〔(What Grace Community Church Believes )〕〔()〕 Randall Balmer says that the Statement was an attempt to "staunch the spread of biblical feminism in evangelical circles." Seth Dowland suggests that the authors of the statement "framed their position as a clear and accessible reading of scripture. The Danvers Statement is included in readers such as ''Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism: A Documentary Reader'' (NYU Press, 2008) and ''Eve and Adam: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim readings on Genesis and gender'' (Indiana University Press, 2009). The Danvers Statement recognised the "genuine evangelical standing of many who do not agree with all of our convictions."〔Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen (2010), ''A Sword Between the Sexes?: C.S. Lewis and the Gender Debates'', Brazos Press, (p. 76 ).〕 In 1994, three leaders of CBMW met with Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) for discussions. While there was much dialog, little agreement was found. In 1998, the organisation established a British branch, in which Terry Virgo was active.〔Mathew Guest, Karin Tusting, and Linda Woodhead (2004), ''Congregational Studies in the UK: Christianity in a Post-Christian Context'', Ashgate Publishing, (p. 194 ).〕 As of December 2010, the CBMW had a funding level of around $127,000, down from $336,000 two years earlier.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
