33: Warrior, Mother, Creator: Biblical Metaphors for God in Scripture with Ron Pierce

Hi Split Frame Fam!

We are delighted to have Dr. Ron Pierce (Ph.D, Fuller Theological Seminary) as our guest today to talk about biblical metaphors for God. Dr. Pierce is Professor of Old Testament at Biola University and has written and edited numerous books and articles on the topic of women in ministry and the evangelical gender debate. Ron is also a personal friend of ours and we are just over the moon that we could have him on our podcast!

In addition to being the editor of the upcoming 3rd edition of Discovering Biblical Equality (see the second edition here), Dr. Pierce has written extensively for Christians for Biblical Equality (his author page is here). Of special note is his excellent article on Deborah in Judges 4, Women Prophets and the Feminine Voice of God, and his game-changing work on 1 Corinthians 7 and marriage - I (Nick) cite it in my book The Perfection of Our Faithful Wills: it is that good! Dr. Pierce has also written a commentary on the Book of Daniel and an accessible work on marriage and ministry partnership.

Dr. Pierce also teaches an exceptional class on Theology of Gender at Biola, and the playlist on YouTube can be found here. It was first in Dr. Pierce’s class that both of us became convinced of the biblical veracity of egalitarianism and changed our minds based on what Scripture teaches.

If you like what we re doing, please consider supporting us on Patreon! Thank you, especially those who write to us whether egalitarian or complementarian, and our current patrons. You are a great blessing to us! No gift is too small.
