In this episode, Matt talks with Dr. Nijay Gupta, a biblical scholar at Northern Seminary. They chat about his latest book, Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church. In his book, Nijay does a fantastic job showing how the Bible depicts women taking up the mantle of ministry, faithfully proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah. In this conversation, Nijay discusses the Old Testament's depiction of Deborah as a judge of Israel, the New Testament's portrayal of Phoebe as a deacon, Junia as an apostle, as well as the so-called "household codes" within the context of the Greco-Roman world.
