Women Who Do: What We Can Learn from Female Disciples in the Gospels

When we think of disciples, we often picture the Twelve – the small group of men who followed Jesus throughout his ministry. But Jesus had many disciples, and the gospels are clear that we, as Christians, can learn from all of the people who followed Jesus. In her lecture, Dr. Carey will highlight the importance of female disciples in Jesus’s ministry and in the shaping of our understanding of what it means to follow Jesus faithfully, courageously, and sacrificially.

Dr. Holly Carey holds a PhD in New Testament and Early Christian Origins from the University of Edinburgh and serves as the Professor of Biblical Studies at Point University.
