From The Archives | Dr. Michelle Knight | Faithfulness in a Compromised Kingdom – Examining King Ahab and Queen Jezebel

In this archived conversation, Dr. Michelle Knight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to delve into the complex biblical figure of Jezebel, exploring her multifaceted role in the books of 1 and 2 Kings. Through a detailed examination of key passages, including the infamous story of Naboth's vineyard, they unpack Jezebel's influence on King Ahab and her aggressive promotion of Baal worship in Israel. The discussion reveals Jezebel not just as a villainous character, but as a nuanced representation of the spiritual and political challenges faced by God's people during a tumultuous period in Israelite history.Resources Mentioned:  The Prophet's Anthem: The Song of Deborah and Barak in the Narrative of Judges by Dr. Michelle Knight  Let Her Learn ClassesThe Visual Museum of Women in ChristianityDr. Lynn CohickLet Her Lead  Episode Sponsor:  The Alabaster Jar is brought to you by The Center for Women in Leadership, a 501©3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to equip women in a context that is biblically rooted, theologically robust, and ethnically diverse to thrive as leaders in the academy and the Church.
