{"product_id":"nobodys-mother-sandra-l-glahn-9781514005927","title":"Nobody's Mother: Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and the New Testament","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome Christians think Paul's reference to \"saved through childbearing\" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children.\u003c\/b\u003e Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on groundbreaking research and new data about Artemis of the Ephesians, \u003ci\u003eNobody's Mother\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how better background information supports faithful interpretation. Combining spiritual autobiography with scholarly exploration, Glahn takes readers on a journey to ancient Ephesus and across early church history. Unveiling the cult of Artemis and how early Christians related to it can give us a clearer sense of the type of radical, countercultural fellowship the New Testament writers intended Christ's church to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for those who want to avoid sacrificing a high view of Scripture while working to reconcile conflicting models of God's view of women. Through the unexpected channel of Paul's advice to Timothy--and the surprising help of an ancient Greek myth--\u003ci\u003eNobody's Mother\u003c\/i\u003e lays a biblical foundation for men and women serving side by side in the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra L.
