Women, Patriarchy, & the Bible with Claire McKeever-Burgett

“Without women we don’t have Jesus. We don’t have Christianity. We don’t have any of it,” writes Claire McKeever-Burgett, theologian and author of “Blessed Are The Women: Naming and Reclaiming Women’s Stories from the Gospels.” In this episode we speak with Claire about her amazing book, what inspired her to write it, and the importance of women’s stories in the story of Christianity. Claire’s newest book, "In The Beginning Were The Women: Matriarchs, Mystics, Wise Women, and Warriors in the Hebrew Bible", will be available on October 21, 2025.
