ABOUT THE EPISODE:
 Biblical scholar Amy Peeler's new book, Women and the Gender of God, is a deep, scriptural exploration of the way gender and human embodiment color our relationship with God -- and if we take the Virgin birth seriously, then not only color that relationship, but in some ways substantiate it. Whether you're in a world that venerates the Virgin Mother or debates about complimentarian vs. egalitarian, you are going to find something in this conversation that will challenge and teach you about the life of our Lord with us, through the way Scripture and imagination use gender, through the lives of women, and through the life and incarnation of Jesus Christ. And by the end you might get the impression that evangelicals will be leading the next big Marian movement.
The Rev. Dr. Amy Peeler is associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and associate rector at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Geneva, Ill. Author of Women and the Gender of God, “You Are My Son”: The Family of God in the Epistle to the Hebrews, and co-author of Hebrews: An Introduction and Study Guide. She is a member of the Institute for Biblical Research, Society of Biblical Literature, and a Fellow with the Center for Pastor Theologians. Check out her book, Women and the Gender of God.
Interviewing Amy is the Rev. Dr. Wesley Hill, associate professor of New Testament at Western Theological Seminary and scripture scholar at Church of the Incarnation, Dallas.
