Hey friends, Elisa Childers here.

Today we're going to talk about feminism and Christianity.

Are they compatible?

What do we do with all the messages our culture is sending us about what it means to be a woman?

What does the Bible say about who we are as women in Christ?

Does the Bible oppress women?

We're going to discuss all these things and more with a very special guest on today's podcast.

Alright men, don't go running for the hills just because you heard we're talking about

feminism and women.

We're going to be getting into some subjects that are really important and interesting

and there are things that we all need to learn about and know about as followers of

Christ in this modern world.

So I'm super excited about my guest today, Diana Williams.

She specializes in the Christian response to feminism and things like feminist theology

and what is called the feminist critique of the Bible.

In other words, there are feminists who would say that the Bible oppresses women, that

Christianity as an entire belief system is oppressive to women and we need to break free

of some of these archaic ideas that are trying to keep us enslaved to this idea of subordination

or inferiority.

Diana holds an honorary bachelor's of science degree with a double major in psychology

and sociology from the University of Toronto and she has her master's degree from Southern

Evangelical Seminary in apologetics and philosophy.
