Episode notes
Old Covenant Women Held Authority

Civil War Example Of Scriptural Impact
- Vallotton recounts researching the Civil War and links Christian interpretations of scripture to pro-slavery stances.
- He warns that scriptural misinterpretation had deadly real-world consequences, citing 618,000 Civil War deaths.
