Episode 454: Sandra Glahn
In this episode Sandra Glahn helps us read Scripture the way we already know how to read a story. We talk about the women we've skipped as bunny trails, handed only to women, flattened into ideals, or made into sinners the text never called sinners — Tamar, the woman at the well, Abigail, Job's daughters, Rhoda at the door. We get into reading bigger sections instead of verse-sized fragments, what place and naming and silence are doing on purpose, translations that narrow the room, and why the hard texts still need preaching. There is more here than most of us have been trained to see.
Dr Sandra Glahn is a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and the cofounder of the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity. She is the author or coauthor of more than 25 books, including the forthcoming "A Woman's Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Text."
