What insights do women have about women in the Bible? Dr. Marion Taylor has spend over 20 years recovering historic commentaries and teachings of women about the Bible. And it shows in her academic work as she regularly refers to that largely ignored body of literature. This week we talk about her commentary on Ruth and Esther, and the dangers of over romanticizing these biblical books about women. Ruth has a lot to teach us about lament, violence against women, and survival.
