In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews Dr. Michelle Knight to explore the themes of women in the Old Testament, focusing on figures such as Deborah, Jael, and Rahab. They discuss the significance of Deborah's song in Judges, the unexpected role of Jael in the battle against Sisera, and the faithfulness of Rahab in the face of adversity. The conversation also addresses the complexities of the Book of Judges, including the portrayal of women and the moral depravity of the time. They also discuss Achsah’s boldness in asking for more land and how it serves as a counterpoint to the violence depicted in the latter chapters of Judges, highlighting the importance of women's voices in biblical narratives.
