Paul’s letters to the Corinthian churches offer a unique window into early Christian life and its complex dynamics of gender and leadership. Amid these pages, we find a stirring discussion on roles that has transcended centuries.
Join host Scot McKnight and guest Lucy Peppiatt (PhD, Otago), principal of Westminster Theological Centre, as they delve into 1 Corinthians 11 and its teachings on gender equality.
Peppiatt shares her journey and the challenges she faced as a woman in scholarship and ministry. Together, they tackle the traditional hierarchies and highlight the narrative of men and women as co-bearers of God’s glory. This perspective not only challenges traditional church structures but also encourages a reevaluation of how scriptural interpretations are formed and fostered in faith communities.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion that offers fresh insights and reaffirms the value of mutuality and equality in faith.
This episode highlights the following themes:
• Re-examining 1 Corinthians 11 and its implications for gender equality
• The transition to women elders in church leadership
• Mutualism versus hierarchical perspectives in theological discussions
