Ep. 8: Bathsheba: Unnamed on Purpose with Rev. Dr. Anne Clements

Why does Matthew name “Uriah’s wife” instead of Bathsheba—and what does that choice reveal about sin, power, and redemption? In this episode of “The Chick Report,” Dr. Sandra Glahn talks with Reverend Dr. Anne Clements, author of Mothers on the Margin? The Significance of Women in Matthew’s Genealogy, to trace Matthew’s literary strategy and to spotlight the women whose stories shape salvation history.Discover: - Why Matthew highlights outsiders in Jesus’ genealogy through Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and “Uriah’s wife” - How Matthew’s phrasing “Uriah’s wife” redirects attention to David’s wrongdoing instead of blaming the woman - How a “hermeneutic of hospitable awareness” helps readers notice unnamed women and read Scripture with careJoin us as we explore the theme “A Woman’s Place is in the Story”—because when we skip, flatten, or vilify women in Scripture, we distort what the text actually says and miss the richness their stories carry.Subscribe for more episodes featuring scholarship with a touch of slang. Connect with Sandra: https://sandraglahn.com | Instagram: @SandraGlahnAuthor Disclaimer: The views, information, and/or opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of our guests and do not necessarily represent those of the host, affiliated organizations, or sponsors.
