Reverend Dr. Wilda Gafney joins us this week to talk about matters of translation AND interpretation of the biblical text. We primarily discuss her book Womanist Midrash, and if those terms are unfamiliar to you, you need to listen! There is so much to learn when we listen to different voices.
Dr. Gafney and I also discuss why the original Hebrew language is important and how the bias (intentional or invisible) of the interpreters will influence how YOU read the text and think about God.
