I. LOVED. THIS. I felt like I got a glimpse inside your brain and it's beautiful. This was absolutely fascinating to read and I would absolutely attend any classes on this topic you want to teach in the future.

Gosh darnit why you gotta add a new special interest read to my list? As a kid I was a huge geek about Greek mythology, so the opportunity to apply that to Bible scholarship sounds so perfect! Thank you for sharing about this book, I love this additional lens to Ephesians!

Haha! Love that I could share this with you. I also started reading Percy Jackson and I recognized Artemis before they told us who she was.

"I’ve thought about Artemis before and never once considered her statutes. Silly me." LOL (But truly - grateful for this piece and glad to add this title to my TBR!)

I wish I had more room in my brain for academic reading right now, but I really don’t. I absolutely love these topics and appreciate you taking the time to summarize them! Thank you!

This changes with the seasons for me too! I can't listen to Bible Project podcast right now but I bet I can get back to it when seminary is over. Glad the review was helpful!
