Dialogue Lectures #27 w/Cory Crawford
March 2, 2016The newest Dialogue podcast features Dr. Cory Crawford, Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Ohio. He discusses his new article, “The Struggle for Female Authority in Biblical and Mormon Traditions,” published in the 2015 Summer issue of Dialogue — A Journal of Mormon Thought. From the Miller Eccles website:
“The Old Testament refers to righteous women exercising authority, such as Deborah, the Prophetess and a Judge of Israel (Judges 4). Likewise, in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul mentions righteous women as fellow servants, such as Phebe, Junia and others. Yet many statements attributed to Paul concerning the role of women in the primitive church are contradictory.
