Manage episode 421032350 series 3565325
Guest co-host, Dr. Mitzi Smith and I, interview Dr. Bridgett Green, to discuss her article in Womanist Interpretations of the Bible, "'Nobody's Free Until Everybody's Free': Exploring Gender and Class Injustice in a Story about Women (Luke 18:15-17)." Dr. Green broadens the world of infants in the Greco Roman world for our listeners as she interprets Luke 18:15-17 through the key themes of Human Rights Activist Fannie Lou Hamer's famous 1971 speech. Jesus’ blessing of the infants in the story upends the sociopolitical power dynamics in Jesus' inner circle.
