(LFDG ARCHIVE) (Not So) ORDINARY TIME | E012: WOMANIST MIDRASH: A Reintroduction to the women of the Torah and the Throne (with guest Hebrew Bible Scholar Rev. Wil Gafney)

Signposts (Formerly Lessons From Dead Guys)

We have finally arrived at the season finale of our (Not So) Ordinary Time series. This week I am joined by the Rev. Wil Gafney, Hebrew Bible Scholar, Episcopal Priest, and author, to talk about one of her latest books Womanist Midrash: A reintroduction to the Women of the Torah and the Throne. In this episode, we explore the lives of several women from the Hebrew Bible through Rev. Will Gafney's Womanist perspective and through the Jewish tradition of Midrash. This book was moving, challenging, and wholly convicting and I can not recommend it enough!
 
 PS. NEXT WEEK the Exile Liturgy Advent devotional will be released. You need to sign up for Signposts to get it for free! I have labored for weeks over this devotional. And I can not wait for you to have it in your hands as we kick off the Advent series of the show!
