Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture
Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle’s From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle’s Exiles, on Christians’ identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy’s To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively.
