Womanist Bible Talk: A Podcast for Womanish Bible Readers and Friends
“Womanist Bible Talk: A Podcast for Womanish Bible Readers and Friends” engages stories about women in Scripture from the perspectives of contemporary Black and other women of color from different walks of life and various socio-economic backgrounds. Hosts, Vanessa Lovelace and Gay Byron, redeem the reputations of biblical women, such as Jezebel, Delilah, and Mary Magdalene who are often represented as “bad girls of the Bible” and introduce other women who have either been nameless or hidden behind the men in the biblical stories.
