Women in the Roman World
It always makes me nervous to post videos I haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but when they look like interesting resources, I’m willing to take the chance. And, these certainly fit that bill. Thanks to Brian LePort for pointing out these videos of Linda Cohick, Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, discussing women in the ancient Roman world. Her book Women in the World of the Earliest Christians has gotten some really good reviews. So, I can only assume that the videos will be interesting as well.
Here’s the first one. You can view the other two at the Center for Public Christianity.

scientia et sapientia 
I’m reading this book right now. Was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon it on the shelf at my local public library! Understanding the cultural milieu sheds a lot of light on New Testament passages about women.
