S5 E33 | Subversive Submission: Unpacking 1 Peter's Radical Vision For Wives (Part 2)

In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Kelly Dippolito start the 2nd part of this series on 1 Peter as they delve into the roles of wives and the concept of agency. They explore the biblical context of submission, the contrast between inner and outer beauty, and the examples of holy women in scripture, particularly Sarah. They also draw parallels with Geoffrey Chaucer's 'The Wife of Bath' from the Canterbury Tales, highlighting themes of virtue, agency, and the importance of character in relationships.Resources Mentioned: Proclaiming the Parables: 2025 HCU Theology ConferenceProclaiming the Parables: Preaching and Teaching the Kingdom of God by Dr. Thomas G.
