This episode revisits common misinterpretations of the Bible through the lens of gender roles. I interview Gordon Ferguson, author of the book "The Bible and Women."

Here are the key points discussed:

• Men and women were created equal by God in His image. (Genesis 1)
• Patriarchy, the rule of men over women, is a consequence of sin, not God's original plan. (Genesis 3)
• The Bible should be interpreted in context, considering the culture of the time it was written. (e.g. Ephesians 5)
• Spiritual gifts are not limited by gender. (Romans 12)
• The ideal Christian relationship is one of mutual servanthood, following the example of Jesus. (Philippians 2)

Ferguson argues that a distorted view of women's roles in the Bible has negative consequences for both men and women. He emphasizes the importance of humility and service in all relationships.
