Marriage As A Source of Church Revenue and Other Fun Timothy Tidbits

If you like your podcasts with a side of crashout then this episode is for you. If not, this is still the episode for you but you may want to jump to around 18 minutes to get straight to the part where we talk about the book.You're going to love the victorian feminist takes on the Epistles to the Ephesians, Phillipians, and Timothy. I mean, someone had to respond to all the men-win doctrine and instructions for women in marriage, appearance, and widowhood. You'll get to enjoy classic lines such as:  "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord"  and hear about how widows aren't supposed to have any fun.  And you'll be terrified or depressed to realize just how much Canon law seeps into civil law especially here in the states. Whether you're a person of faith questioning traditional interpretations or simply interested in how ancient texts continue to shape modern power dynamics, this episode offers a fascinating look at the roots of gender inequality in Western society. Join us as we advocate for a world where, as Chandler wrote, "the religion of Jesus is a voluntary acceptance of truth," and "motherhood is equally honored with fatherhood in human institutions."Send us Fan MailCreditsRecorded at Troubadour Studios in Lansing, MIAudio Engineer Corey DeRushiaEdited by Rie Daisies at Nighttime Girlfriend StudioMusic: ‘Shifting pt. 2 (instrumental)’  by Rie DaisiesExecutive Producer Kate ML RogersLeave us a voice mailHave some feedback?
