Women, Stop Submitting to Men? – This is good stuff from Russell Moore: “Those of us who hold to so-called ‘traditional gender roles’ are often assumed to believe that women should submit to men. This isn’t true.” Not quite.

John Frame’s Writings – This week’s deals from Westminster Books will be of special interest to people who love theology.
