What happens when we add context from literature, history, art, and architecture to our study of the Bible? It can actually illuminate tricky ideas and confusing cultural backdrops. Dr. Sandra Glahn joins me today to discuss why bringing these different sources together is important, how it affected her interpretation of 1 Timothy and provisions against women, and how Paul may have been nicer than misogynists want us to think.

Dr. Sandra Glahn is a seminary professor, the author of more than 20 books--the latest being NOBODY'S MOTHER: ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS IN ANTIQUITY AND THE NEW TESTAMENT--and the co-founder of the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity (www.visualmuseum.gallery).
