18: Junia

What this episode covers

Junia has come a bit under fire in the past few years, with people disputing her name and rank among the apostles. We discuss the Greek text and the situation and context of Romans 16:7, and come to the standard conclusion that Junia was indeed an apostle. We answer the two major objections to her apostleship, and then we then discuss the implications of Junia for the modern evangelical church, and the role of intertextuality between Romans and the Gospel of Luke. Junia was an apostle, and a standout one at that, and this needs to be taken with serious force in the church's debate concerning the ordination of women to positions of leadership within the Body of Christ.
