Our boy Woke Preacher Clips keeps posting these videos so, of course, I feel like I’ve gotta keep watching them.
We’ve already covered one of the interviews with a contributor to Zondervan’s newest “Upside Down Kingdom” study Bible …
And this one from Jill Firth from Ridley College is maybe even more of a doozy than the last one.
I don’t think any women submit in the Old Testament, for example. I’m not saying anything about the New Testament but in the Old Testament there’s a whole difference.
What an incredibly ignorant blanket statement to make. Women in the Old Testament didn’t submit to their husbands or to any male authority.
They were, somehow, all second-wave feminist girl boss rebels who did their own thing!
Her first example is Ruth who converted to the religion of her husband and father-in-law, followed her mother-in-law back to live in her household and serve her, and then works her way into the household of Boaz initially as a servant.
No submission to authority there. 100% girl bossing!
Then Esther, whose entire story is about becoming a queen and asking the king for his favor and to rescue her people, well she’s really the one in charge here!
No woman in the OT was EVER submissive!
(Please, please, please don’t read 1 Peter 3:6)
This is your brain on feminism, people.
Women shouldn’t study parts of the Bible where women aren’t the heroes?
I mean, given that 90% of women’s Bible studies seem to be on Ruth and Esther or “female heroes of the faith” I can say that it does feel like this feminist message is already internalized. Firth is just saying it out loud.
Goes to show how much feminism has infiltrated absolutely everything, now including the newest Zondervan Bible.
