E46 Jennifer Bird | Gender & Sexuality in the Bible?


Listen Later

What does the bible really say about Gender, Sexuality and Marriage? From a surface understanding, this may seem like a trivial question, dive a little bit deeper and you may be surprised with what you find. 

Dr Jennifer Bird is a New Testament Bible Scholar, Educator, Author and I like to describe her as a Human Rights Advocate. Her work often ruffles the feathers of many fundamentalist, not because her ideas are wild or unfounded, but because she approaches her scholarship as a thinking, feeling human.

Her work is known world-over,  with reviewers thanking for her honesty, objectivity and illumination of difficult concepts within the Bible

Dr Jennifer Bird is an educator of over 20 years,  with a master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a PhD in New Testament and Early Christianity from Vanderbilt Univerity

She has quickly become my favourite Christian Author and has introduced me to what is now one of my favourite quotes.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it. ~ paraphrase from Aristotle ~

I hope we can all absorb that advice.
