October 06, 2022 African American Readings of Paul with Dr. Lisa Bowens - KR 203
In African American Readings of Paul, Dr. Lisa Bowens surveys a wealth of primary sources from the early 1700s to the mid-twentieth century, including sermons, conversion stories, slave petitions, and autobiographies of ex-slaves, many of which introduce readers to previously unknown names in the history of New Testament interpretation. Along with their hermeneutical value, these texts also provide fresh documentation of Black religious life through wide swaths of American history. African American Readings of Paul promises to change the landscape of Pauline studies and fill an important gap in the rising field of reception history.

July 21, 2022 The Struggle to Stay with Katie Gaddini - KR 198
Why are single Evangelical women leaving the church?
Evangelical Christianity is often thought of as oppressive to women. The #MeToo era, when many women hit a breaking point with rampant sexism, has also reached evangelical communities. Yet more than thirty million women in the United States still identify as evangelical. Why do so many women remain in male-dominated churches that marginalize them, and why do others leave? In each case, what does this cost them?
In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot and Laura talk to Katie about her new book. "The Struggle to Stay" is an intimate and insightful portrait of single women’s experiences in evangelical churches.
