Empowerment and Scholarship in Women's Leadership

Lynn H. Cohick earned her PhD in NT and Christian Origins from the University of Pennsylvania. She is distinguished professor of NT at Houston Christian University, and director of the Houston Theological Seminary. She has written commentaries on Ephesians and Philippians, and books on women in the NT, including Christian Women in the Patristic World and Women in the World of the Earliest Christians. In this conversations, we talk about Lynn's latest research on freed female slaves in the New Testament world and how this shapes our reading of the household codes, and also the role and impact that women had on the church in the first few hundred years of Christianity.
