Introducing Eikon 6.2 (Fall 2024)

by Michael Carlino

CBMW’s latest installment of Eikon (6.2) features essay from Louis Markos, Kyle Claunch and Michael Carlino, and James Wood. This Fall 2024 issue focused on the natural and complementary differences between men and women. As Executive Editor Jonathan E. Swan writes in the Editorial:

Since its inception in 2019, Eikon has been devoted to renewing and deepening evangelical complementarian convictions by seeking to understand how our God-given roles reflect and fit our God-given nature as male and female. And in this issue we give special attention to these natural differences in hopes of continuing to articulate a ‘natural complementarianism’ — a complementarianism that recognizes that our complementary function is fitted to our complementarian form as male and female. We invite you to explore this theme through the table of contents below, which includes a forum featuring responses by R. Albert Mohler, Jr., David Haines, and Miles Smith.

If you would like a print copy of Eikon, you can subscribe to receive each Spring and Fall issue. A digital copy (pdf) of the print edition is also available for free. Links to each essay in blog format are provided below in the Table of Contents.
