{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Bible Divas","slug":"thebibledivas","podcastDescription":"

Welcome to Bible Divas, hosted by Baptist News Global. We’re four women who teach the Bible for a living, and we believe that careful, honest scholarship belongs in public conversation. We read Scripture with curiosity, expertise, and a strong helping of sass. We invite other women Bible scholars to join us for informed…and often spicy…conversations about the Bible.

This is biblical scholarship out loud, and women are holding the mic. So pull up a chair and join a community that will embrace you, challenge you, make you think, and make you laugh...because the Bible still shapes real lives. It really matters. And we have something to say.

Hosted by Angela N. Parker, Anna Sieges Beal, Jennifer Garcia Bashaw, and Cynthia Shafer-Elliott
