Ingrid Faro – Redeeming Eden

Episode: Ingrid Faro talks with Matt Bates about overlooked, less-known, vilified, and misunderstood women in the Old Testament. Like … Jehosheba (did you know about her?). She argues that the story of women in the Old Testament–and in particular their role at key junctures in that story–is good for men and women. Co-hosted by Matt Bates.

Guest: Dr. Ingrid Faro is Professor of Old Testament and Coordinator of the MA in Old Testament–Jerusalem University College Program at Northern Seminary. She’s currently the interim president. Ingrid is an author and international speaker on topics including deconstructing evil, navigating suffering, forgiveness, lament, abuse and power dynamics, women in the Bible and ministry, Genesis, and Ecclesiastes. Ingrid is the author of Evil in Genesis (Lexham), co-author of Honest Answers (Kregal), Demystifying Evil (IVP Academic), and the topic of this episode, Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation (Zondervan).

OnScript’s Review: “A transformative journey into God’s saving story. These marginalized women prove to be anything but marginal within God’s purposes. They act boldly and speak wisely at pivotal points in God’s story, teaching us who God is and who we must become.” Matthew W. Bates, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
