More than a rib ... Positions of women in the Bible and in the history of the church
Was Lydia the leader of a Christian group or ‘just’ the hostess of the meetings? Is it true that Phoebe's role was automatically translated as deaconess? Did Chloe merely deliver a letter or did she have more authority? In a series of dialogues, Anne Zaki and David Wissa discuss interpretations of sensitive issues about women's roles and positions in the Bible.
The series is thought provoking. We explore women's identity, vocation and theological understanding through the lens of Scripture, church history and contemporary ministry.
‘More Than a Rib’ stands out as a bold, intellectually engaging and theologically grounded production. It addresses one of the most pressing and often misunderstood issues in the Church today: the role and calling of women within God's plan of salvation. The series offers a biblically faithful yet culturally relevant view, addressing key theological questions and pastoral issues with clarity, depth and balance.
The series consists of high-quality videos, 30 episodes of 15 to 20 minutes each, and will soon be broadcast on satellite TV and on social media platforms.
