The struggle of Christians to explain [a] complex physical, social, artistic, or cultural phenomenon from the perspective of biblical revelation is no less legitimate than explanations that derive from Marxism, Islam, behavioral or gestalt psychology, pragmatism, or logical positivism," he asserts.
From Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe, we see the same patterns of under-representation and stereotyped portrayal of women in the news," said Anna Turley, coordinator of the most recent monitoring effort.
