Womanist Bible Talk: A Podcast for Womanish Bible Readers and Friends
The Womanist Bible Talk Podcast released Episode 8, "Isaiah, Metaphors, Children and Corporeal Punishment." When the text says, "I will make boys their princes," it reminds some of us of our upbringing. We were raised by strict mothers, whereas, our brothers were made into "princes." What insights can we find in this text that we may have previously overlooked? Listen to this episode featuring the work of Dr. Valerie Bridgeman.
