In this bonus re-release, Cynthia and Susan offer a few thoughts on that idea, and also discuss the pattern they see: the Bible doesn\u2019t only show Jesus choosing women in the New Testament\u2014beginning with Eve, women are cast in pivotal roles from the very start. The original episode explores how Jesus\u2019s inclusion of women was radical within its cultural context. Yet for most of history, his namesake religion has been marked by near-total domination of the patriarchy. What happened? Greg Prince once asked Chieko Okazaki a question that bears repeating: \u201c\u2026where do we need to go to get women in the Church where He wants them to be?\u201d In Episode 248, Cynthia and Susan pose that question again, shining light on a few of the women hidden in plain sight at Christianity\u2019s beginnings.
