Episode 32: Female Disciples in the Gospels: A Conversation with Dr. Holly Carey

Become a member of the Center for Bible Study! 👉https://the-center-for-bible-study.teachable.com/p/the-center-for-bible-study-membershipDr. Carey sits down with Dr. Botner to discuss her book Women Who Do: Female Disciples in the Gospels. We cover the wide range of topics, including: the experiences of women in antiquity, the various roles of female disciples in the four Gospels, how each of the Gospels highlights different facets of the female disciples, and how the Gospels often portray women as ideal disciples. We also discuss why it is important to highlight the female disciples in the Gospels in church. Far too often, conversations in church revolve around debates about what women can't do. The Gospels show us the many things that women did do and what disciples of Jesus must do today. Holly J.
