Free! An Exciting, One-Time Offer Only For . . .

. . . Only for Dontbia Nass, my brave, anonymous Covenant critic.

I am offering Nass a free, one-year membership to the evangelical egalitarian ministry Christians for Biblical Equality. With it, he'll receive every other month the magazine "Mutuality," with a plethora of articles on Biblical equality, as well as the academically-oriented "Priscilla Papers." Both are award-winning publications, and both are extraordinary sources of Bible teaching and social application.

I know DN doesn't choose to use his name, but that's not a barrier to his becoming a member. All he has to do is email my friend and Membership Coordinator Megan Greulich at mgreulich@cbeinternationa.org or call 612-872-6898, tell her he's "Dontbia Nass," and accept my free gift. Gosh, he'll even get something like 10% off the registration fee for the 2009 CBE Annual Conference, "Are Men from Mars and Women from Venus? A Biblical Response to Gender Differences," as well as a pocket-sized Today's New International Version Bible, the TNIV translation that was the subject of grossly unfair slander -- I call it "bearing false witness" -- by the conservative World Magazine a few years ago. It's my favorite translation, respected by conservative and mainstream Christian scholars for its gender-accurate commitment. I'm not able to attend the conference this year, but perhaps he'll find July in St. Louis a fab idea.

So, it's a free, no-strings-attached offer just for DN. No, he doesn't get a Sham-Wow, Eagle-Eye Sunglasses, or Oxy-Clean with it, but my sincere hope is that he'll avail himself of my support. I'm willing in this to put my money where my strident feminist mouth is, and I think he'll be blessed beyond measure when he studies CBE material.

So, DN, let me know; better yet, let Megan know. I presume you to be an honest student of Scripture, so please let me help you as we continue our dialogue.
