NEW BOOK REVIEW: TELL HER STORY: HOW WOMEN LED, TAUGHT, AND MINISTERED IN THE EARLY CHURCH

NEW BOOK REVIEW: TELL HER STORY: HOW WOMEN LED, TAUGHT, AND MINISTERED IN THE EARLY CHURCH

I fell down an escalator, at a recent Evangelical Theological Conference (ETS), to get Nijay Gupta’s newest book, Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church. I’d seen a Twitter announcement about this forthcoming book and couldn’t wait to read it. A word of caution, if you drop something while on an escalator DO NOT bend over to pick it up! When my feet hit the bottom step, I rolled like a bowling ball and landed in a splat. Fortunately, though rattled (and bruised), all my limbs worked. Two gentlemen kindly helped me to my feet. I immediately turned to see if I could recover my lost item. Behold, a guy with a twinkle in his eye handed me the postcard he had seen me drop and perilously attempt to recover. “Thank you,” I said and sheepishly added, “It’s for a free book!” All three men laughed uproariously. They weren’t so much laughing at me (well maybe a little), as with me. ETS conference attendees are book nerds, and we especially appreciate free books! With my feet on firm ground, I redeemed my rock-and-roll postcard for a complimentary advance copy of Tell Her Story. The book’s official release day is March 14th and I’ve written a review for you.

We Connected Through Twitter: My Interview with Egalitarian Marg Mowczko

I logged into Twitter early one April morning to tweet a request for ideas on Christian egalitarian women to interview. To my delight, Marg Mowczko (pronounced “Moss-Koh”) reached out and offered an interview. I’d previously read several of her blog articles, but we’d never before met or spoken. After arranging a Texas to Australia connection, Marg joined me via Facetime from her home in New South Wales.
