Haddad’s presentation was titled: God’s Renewing Work: How Our Evangelical Heritage Empowers Ministry Today. Her message addressed these questions: To what extent did the church allow the presumed inferiority of women to influence their reading of Scripture? Was it the secular feminists from the 1960s or the missionaries of the 1800s who provided the first egalitarian reading of Scripture? How can we be part of God’s reforming work today?

Haddad is a graduate of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and holds a Ph.D. in historical theology from the University of Durham, England. She currently serves as president of Christians for Biblical Equality in Minneapolis and as an adjunct professor at North Park Theological Seminary.
