Description
How much of the bible, the gospel, and Christianity do we truly understand, especially through feminine aspects and feminine perspectives? Is there really such thing as “sin”? Can we and should we love our oppressor? In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Schrader Polczer unpacks and answers burning questions about the religion and its gospels. From telling the story of Mary and Martha, and how it shifted to Mary Magdalene to the true meaning of sin and compassion according to the gospel, she aims to help and heal by bringing awareness to the true meaning of Christianity and accepting and revering the feminine perspective. Dr. Elizabeth Schrader Polczer is an American biblical scholar who concentrates on textual studies concerning Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of John, and the Nag Hammadi corpus. Before joining the academe, she was a singer/songwriter professionally known as Libbie Schrader and is currently an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Villanova University.
