Is the Bible sexist?
This episode never fully asks that question, but it’s bubbling under the surface. The Scriptures say things that, to modern ears, can sound strange at best and problematic at worst.
“Wives submit to your husbands”
“woman as the weaker vessel”
“the husband is the head of the wife”
Do these texts mean what it looks like they mean?
Bronwyn Lea is here to chat about these texts: what they mean, the principles and heart beating underneath them, and how actual Christian marriages seek to follow the advice the Scriptures have for marriage.
What does it mean to submit?
To lead?
Who actually makes decisions?
Good questions with perhaps surprising answers.
