Summary

In this episode, Tim sits down with Jennifer Bird, PHD to discuss her research on the concept of marriage in the Bible. Dr. Bird explains how analyzing the genre and cultural context of the Bible challenges the validity of evangelical proof-texts for "biblical marriage" theology Dr. Bird also discusses why the words "husband" and "wife" don't belong in our English translations of Genesis, and why the Biblical depiction of marriage is driven by ownership, rather than love.
