We are pleased to open our fifth year of Eikon today with the release of our Spring 2023 issue. As the Editorial explains, this issue of Eikon is dedicated exclusively to providing a response to the third edition of Discovering Biblical Equality: Biblical, Theological, Cultural, and Practical Perspectives (2021), edited by Ronald W. Pierce, Cynthia Long Westfall, and Christa L. McKirland.
We provide a response to this third and thoroughly revised version of Discovering Biblical Equality with review articles from numerous contributors, including Stephen Wellum, Peter Gurry, Sharon James, Jonathan Leeman, and many more.
Print copies of Eikon can be purchased through subscription. A digital copy of the print edition is also available for download. Links to each essay in blog format are provided below in the Table of Contents.
