We argue that a better understanding of the nature of action descriptions can provide a more appropriate framework for relating metaphors and models of atonement than other frameworks that are on offer today. We begin by describing a problem that arises with the framework employed by what we call pluralist and hierarchalist approaches, namely, that the approaches operate with an understanding of metaphors best suited for inanimate objects. On the other hand, action theory—a philosophical subject that has for the most part been ignored by theologians—and more specifically, action descriptions, are better suited to describe the actions of agents. By shifting our attention to action descriptions, we will be able to retain both what pluralists are after—a notion of the multiple perspectives on atonement—and what hierarchalists are after—a nuanced and differentiated way to account for their metaphors and models of atonement.

Contemporary questions of sex, gender, and transgender identities are not addressed directly by any biblical text, and yet the church needs wisdom on these topics. This article examines the so-called head-coverings passage, 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, with an eye towards principles that could be applied today. While no reading of this text is untroubled, the dynamic tension that the Apostle Paul puts forward between the distinction of male and female, and their equality before the Lord, can shed important light. After exegetical engagement with the text, the article discusses relevant continuities and discontinuities between the original audience and the modern West, leading to recommendations for faithful presence. These include holding to God’s good design of humanity as male and female, while striving to be a community of compassion towards those who identify as transgender or who experience gender dysphoria.
