I decided to jot this down after reading an essay by Scot McKnight of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago. The point of his essay is that for whatever reason (he gives a few but I don’t necessarily agree) these women are pushed to the margins of both biblical studies and church teaching and have there for much of Christian history.
Interesting, interesting, interesting! A thought provoking look at women in the New Testament:
Thanks for the reblog. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for writing it in the first place! It’s crazy how little we know about these women; centuries of hushing up, I suppose.
