Nobody’s Mother
Some Christians think the apostle Paul’s reference to “saved through childbearing” in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women were created primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.
I think we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, I argue, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

The arts. Gender. Culture and Christianity. Writing for publication. The history of women in the church—especially in the visual record. Marriage. Marital intimacy. Reproductive ethics… I love interacting with readers on lots of topics, but especially these. Twice a month I also blog for Engage, bible.org’s site for women in ministry leadership. Often those posts will appear here, too.
