Episode notes
Bible Study vs Bible Literacy
- Many church "Bible studies" are devotional or book discussions rather than true Bible literacy training.
- Jen Wilkin built studies to teach people how to read the Bible well and develop Bible literacy.
Mind And Heart Together
- The intellect has been wrongly pitted against emotion in modern church culture.
- Wilkin argues true faith uses both heart and mind and that theology should lead to worship.
Women Need Intellectual Access
- Women are often steered toward emotional or therapeutic faith because intellectual spaces have been male-dominated.
- Wilkin insists women are meant to think deeply about God and need access to theological conversation.
