I've just read Martha Nussbaum's new book Citadel's A Pride
Speaker 2
which is a really stunning book and about the various maneuvers and manipulations and systems that men have created over the years that marginalized, silenced women and it becomes structural and systemic so that women experience imposter syndrome more than men because they always wonder if they belong and cannot sometimes accept their giftedness and I have, I know women like this and it's discouraging because of their inherited giftedness so I'm really glad to be with Lynn tonight and I'm going to pass it over to her and you people can ask questions in the chat and we'll see if we can get to them but Lynn is a world expert on these women that are ignored and so she could probably go on for three or four

hours here. But we'll only do it right because we'll go early to betterly surprise people.
Speaker 2
That's right I saw that from seven to nine I thought oh I won't make that one. Okay.
Speaker 1
Well thanks Scott this is just such a great idea for you and I to just have a conversation about what we're really interested in which is women in the New Testament. I don't know if you, well I think you do remember when you contacted me probably in 06 I think something like that to participate in a book that you and Joe Modica who's at Eastern University outside of Philadelphia what I contribute to a book that you were pulling together called Who Do My Opponents Say That I Am and you asked me to write on Jesus King of the Jews and that was my big breakthrough and then you continued to ask with the what was it the story and trying to get the titles here. Asked me to be part of the editorial team the story of God series and then I did a chapter on Philippians in Jesus is Lord Caesar is not that and the apostle Paul in the Christian life a couple of other works that you did with Joe Modica and in all of these you really encourage my voice and so I love that we're doing this together giving voices to women of the early church because personally you have really done that with me so yeah so I'm excited to get going and that but you probably have your own story on
