In February 1989, R.K. McGregor Wright put out "Response to the Danvers Statement," an unpublished paper delivered to the Christians for Biblical Equality Conference, St. Paul, which was later revised and republished.[7] In 1990 Christians for Biblical Equality published a statement "Men, Women & Biblical Equality," in Christianity Today.[9][10]
Randall Balmer says that the Statement was an attempt to "staunch the spread of biblical feminism in evangelical circles."[11] Seth Dowland suggests that the authors of the statement "framed their position as a clear and accessible reading of scripture.[12]
The Danvers Statement is included in readers such as Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism: A Documentary Reader (NYU Press, 2008) and Eve and Adam: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim readings on Genesis and gender (Indiana University Press, 2009).
