42 min - S3 Episode 1: Marriage & The Bible | Part 1
This week, Jennifer and Jeanne talk about Jennifer's new book "Marriage In The Bible". The conversation explores the phrase "biblical" marriage," suggesting that the Bible portrays heterosexual arrangements that most twenty-first century people--conservative Christians included--would NOT want to imitate. Jennifer gets honest about what biblical passages do and don't say about men and women partnering, desentimentalizing "biblical marriage." Jeanne shares Margaret Atwood's poem "Habitation," which also de-sentimentalizes marriage.

About Wild Olive
From the publisher's feed
The Wild Olive Podcast brings you game-changing conversations about literature, culture, and the Bible. With co-hosts Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird, Wild Olive serves up idea-feasts: tasty insights about biblical texts and contemporary (or classic!) literature, with generous side-portions of cultural commentary and hearty laughter. One literature professor + one biblical studies professor = uncontrolled, out-of-bounds, untamed conversation: ideal listening for the post-evangelical, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the Bible-curious secularist, the free-thinking religionist, and the literary-but-not-stodgy!
New episodes every other Friday!
