Context Matters

Gentile and Jewish Women in the New Testament World

Episode Summary

Dr. Lynn Cohick joins us to talk about her book Women in the World of the Earliest Christians. We explore how different the religious world was for gentile women and for Jewish women. We then talk about stories in the Bible that include women but are not necessarily about gender roles. There are so many! But this week we think about Martha and the Samaritan Woman as mature adults who have complex theological conversations with Jesus. What can all of us, men and women, learn from them?
