    From The Archives | Marg Mowczko | Exploring Biblical Egalitarianism

    In this archived episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick has a rich conversation with Australian Bible teacher and writer Marg Mowczko about mutuality between women and men in the church and home. Marg shares her story of coming to faith as a girl in a male-led church culture and her struggle to find a path to serve God without visible female role models. She and Lynn unpack how marriage books, church teaching, and mistranslated or misunderstood biblical terms like “submission” and diakonos have shaped Christian views of women’s leadership. Drawing on Marg’s Greek studies and research on figures like Phoebe, Lydia, Rahab, Deborah, and Priscilla, they show how the New Testament portrays women as full partners in ministry.   Resources Mentioned:    Marg Mowczko Diakonia Studies: Critical Issues in Ministry by Dr. John N.

    From The Archives | Dr. Caryn A. Reeder | The Samaritan Woman's Story: Reconsidering John 4 After #ChurchToo

    In this archived episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick speaks with Dr. Caryn A. Reeder about her book The Samaritan Woman’s Story: Reconsidering John 4 After #ChurchToo. Reeder explains how the wave of abuse disclosures in the church led her to re-examine how Scripture is taught, especially stories involving women and sexuality. Together they challenge the long-standing portrayal of the Samaritan woman as a sexual sinner, arguing instead that her marital history reflects the harsh social realities of the ancient world and that Jesus treats her as a theologically serious conversation partner. They also highlight the woman’s role as a perceptive disciple and effective evangelist whose testimony leads her community to Jesus, contrasting her faith and clarity with the confusion of the disciples.

    From The Archives | Dr. Jeannine K. Brown | Scripture as Communication

    In this archived episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews her longtime friend and New Testament scholar Dr. Jeannine Brown about biblical hermeneutics and her work on Philippians. Brown explains how her book Scripture as Communication shapes her approach to interpretation, especially concepts like the implied author and ancient rhetoric’s logos, ethos, and pathos. They also explore Philippians 3 and Paul’s reflection on his Jewish ethnic privilege, using it as a lens to talk about privilege today and how it often remains invisible to those who benefit from it. They also turn to the Christ hymn in Philippians 2, its poetic portrayal of Jesus’ downward movement to servanthood, and its strong resonances with Matthew’s theme of status reversal.   Resources Mentioned:    Philippians (11) (The Story of God Bible Commentary) by Dr. Lynn H.

    S6 E52 | Dorothy Sayers: Mystery, Work, and the Drama of Redemption

    In this special episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick and co-host Dr. Josephine Stringer explore the life and work of Dorothy Sayers, a 20th‑century detective novelist, playwright, translator of Dante, and public theologian. They discuss Sayers’ celebrated Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries—especially Gaudy Night—and how her Oxford background, church upbringing, and participation in the “golden age” of detective fiction shaped her writing. Then they turn to Sayers’ theological work, including The Man Born to Be King, Creed or Chaos, and The Mind of the Maker, highlighting her conviction that the drama of redemption is the greatest story ever told. Lynn and Josephine also unpack Sayers’ provocative essays “Are Women Human?” and “Human Not Quite Human,” tracing her vision of work, creativity, and full human dignity for women and men, set against both her own complicated personal story and ongoing debates in the church today.   Resources Mentioned:   Are Women Human? Penetrating, Sensible, and Witty Essays on the Role of Women in Society by Dorothy L. Sayers Lord Peter: The Complete Lord Peter Wimsey Stories by Dorothy L.

    S6 E51 | Dr. Michelle Knight | Men and Women at the NLT Translation Table

    In this special episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick talks with Dr. Michelle Knight, Old Testament scholar and Senior Reviewer for the New Living Translation (NLT), about their recent work with the NLT translation committee. They describe the collaborative, worshipful environment of the committee, where men and women scholars work together as respected peers in translating Scripture. Lynn and Michelle explain how they refine the NLT to stay both faithful to the original Hebrew and Greek and accessible to modern readers, discussing examples like “scoundrel,” “Levite,” “guest room,” and Hannah’s deep emotional language in 1 Samuel. They also highlight the historical precedent of women contributing to biblical translation, such as Jerome’s collaborators Paula and Marcella, and reflect on how their committee embodies a vision of gender mutuality in service to the church.   Resources Mentioned:    Let Her Learn Classes The Visual Museum of Women in Christianity Dr. Lynn Cohick Let Her Lead   Episode Sponsor:   The Alabaster Jar is brought to you by The Center for Women in Leadership, a 501©3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to equip women in a context that is biblically rooted, theologically robust, and ethnically diverse to thrive as leaders in the academy and the Church.
