The Alabaster Jar

In this conversation, Dr. Holly Beers joins Dr. Lynn Cohick for Part 2 of this interview to discuss her commentary on Colossians and Philemon as part of the Word and Spirit commentary series. They explore the themes of mutuality in marriage, the challenges of parenting, and the radical approach Paul takes in addressing slavery in his letter to Philemon. They also discuss how cultural contexts shape these issues and emphasize the importance of community support in parenting. This conversation also highlights Paul's advocacy for Onesimus and the implications of social relationships in the early church.
