Sex, Worship, & Covenant Part III: Roman Slavery, Sexual Order, Covenant Breakdown, and the Temple of the Holy Spirit

Host Queen Bathsheba continues Part 3 of Sex, Worship, and Covenant, examining Roman slavery, sexual order, child exposure, prostitution, and concubinage to explain the social world behind Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20. The episode shows how the gospel transforms identities—declaring believers bought by God and their bodies temples of the Holy Spirit—offering both liberation from systems of ownership and a call to live in ways that reflect that new covenantal belonging.
