It‘s the beginning of all beginnings and the end of all ends. Join Brent Siddall and the Rev Ian ‘Reido‘ Reid as they explore God, time, salvation and the cosmos. Explore the stories of Western culture as they pivot and interact with the main narrative of salvation history.

What does Paul mean by ‘saved through childbearing’ in 1 Timothy 2:15? Could it be a reference to the mysterious goddess Artemis who haunts the letter?
Brent talks with Sandra Glahn, professor of media, arts and worship at Dallas Theological Seminary, where her emphases are first century backgrounds related to women, culture, gender and the arts. She has authored or edited more than 20 books. Sandra’s new book from IVP America is called ‘Nobody’s Mother: Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and in the New Testament’.
