Mary: A Mother and So Much More
<p>On our fifth and final episode of the Women of Advent, we're talking all things Mary, Mother of Jesus. Mary has captivated followers of Jesus since the beginning as an exemplar of faith, a holy dwelling place, and the mother of God. We talk all about Mary's many titles, as well as the problems she has posed by being human but giving birth to the divine. While Mary's story might begin with her role as Jesus' mother, it quickly becomes clear that Mary occupies many different spaces in our religious history. </p> <p>Mary shows up in all four Gospels (thought not by name!), but we focus on her story found in<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+1&version=NRSV"> Luke 1 </a>and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+2&version=NRSV">Luke 2</a>. </p>

Bathsheba: Filling In the Gaps
<p>In our fourth episode, we're looking at a woman who is technically not named in Matthew's genealogy. Nevertheless, she shows up in a parenthetical reference as "the wife of Uriah." Bathsheba's story is filled with violence, death, and grief. Yet Bathsheba has fascinated people throughout history, and continues to spark debates among religious communities today. Through her story told in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Samuel%2011&version=NRSV">2 Samuel 11</a> and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Samuel%2012&version=NRSV">2 Samuel 12</a>, Bathsheba compels us to think about what happens when history only presents one side of the story - the side that bulldozes over people in poor, precarious positions. </p>

Ruth: Ruminating on Righteousness
<p>Our third episode focuses on <strong>Ruth</strong>. The Book of Ruth is one of only two books named after a woman in our bible, and a hopeful, positive glow illuminates the text from (almost) the very beginning. We dive into Ruth's narrative and discuss how she is a paragon of righteousness, but also highlight how Ruth combats the patriarchy, experiences grief, and battles the erasure of her identity. If you want to follow along, you can read the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ruth%201&version=NRSV">Book of Ruth</a> (it's only four chapters!). </p> <p><br></p>
