Clearly Written By Boys
Karis Burkowski and David Fitzgerald have written an amazing book called Clearly Written by Boys: A Woman’s Guide to the Bible (https://amzn.to/4wf8NAk). The book takes this question seriously:
What if women mattered, really mattered, to the authors that wrote our Bible? Not just the queens and concubines, harlots and handmaidens, and barren women in need of a son’s miraculous birth; not just the unnamed mothers, wives and daughters; but all women?
Clearly Written for Boys (https://amzn.to/4wf8NAk) is a book about the Bible, and Christianity, and the problematic relationship both have had with women throughout their histories. Karis and David come from Christian backgrounds and are “cleaning up their own house.”
Join me in hearing from these two amazing authors and the critical message they have about women in Biblical history and for women of today.

[…] And yeah, I think there are so many things that we don't know. There's a lot that we do know. But I think in the line of your podcast, that being a graceful atheist is knowing when to say we don't know. The jury's out. It could be. Maybe. You know, I think sometimes saying I don't know is seen as a sign of weakness or has been a sign of weakness, especially as well if you change your mind, you know, it's a U-turn or a flip flop or, you know, you're inconsistent.
