In this episode of the Alabaster Jar Podcast, Dr. Sandra Glahn joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to discuss her upcoming book (releasing August 25th, 2026), A Woman's Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Narrative. They explore the question of why women-focused study Bibles are necessary, emphasizing that many significant female figures have been overlooked in traditional biblical narratives.

Dr. Glahn also shares her insights on how women like Tamar play crucial roles in the biblical story, often embodying themes of righteousness and justice that are essential to understanding the larger narrative of Scripture. Ultimately, they highlight the need for a more inclusive approach to biblical studies that recognizes the contributions and complexities of women in the biblical text.
