    From The Archives | Dr. Caryn A. Reeder | The Samaritan Woman's Story: Reconsidering John 4 After #ChurchToo
    Jul 13 2026
    In this archived episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick speaks with Dr. Caryn A. Reeder about her book The Samaritan Woman’s Story: Reconsidering John 4 After #ChurchToo. Reeder explains how the wave of abuse disclosures in the church led her to re-examine how Scripture is taught, especially stories involving women and sexuality. Together they challenge the long-standing portrayal of the Samaritan woman as a sexual sinner, arguing instead that her marital history reflects the harsh social realities of the ancient world and that Jesus treats her as a theologically serious conversation partner. They also highlight the woman’s role as a perceptive disciple and effective evangelist whose testimony leads her community to Jesus, contrasting her faith and clarity with the confusion of the disciples.

    From The Archives | Dr. Jeannine K. Brown | Scripture as Communication
    Jul 6 2026
    In this archived episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews her longtime friend and New Testament scholar Dr. Jeannine Brown about biblical hermeneutics and her work on Philippians. Brown explains how her book Scripture as Communication shapes her approach to interpretation, especially concepts like the implied author and ancient rhetoric’s logos, ethos, and pathos. They also explore Philippians 3 and Paul’s reflection on his Jewish ethnic privilege, using it as a lens to talk about privilege today and how it often remains invisible to those who benefit from it. They also turn to the Christ hymn in Philippians 2, its poetic portrayal of Jesus’ downward movement to servanthood, and its strong resonances with Matthew’s theme of status reversal.

  • S6 E52 | Dorothy Sayers: Mystery, Work, and the Drama of Redemption

    S6 E52 | Dorothy Sayers: Mystery, Work, and the Drama of Redemption
    Jun 29 2026
    In this special episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick and co-host Dr. Josephine Stringer explore the life and work of Dorothy Sayers, a 20th‑century detective novelist, playwright, translator of Dante, and public theologian. They discuss Sayers’ celebrated Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries—especially Gaudy Night—and how her Oxford background, church upbringing, and participation in the “golden age” of detective fiction shaped her writing. Then they turn to Sayers’ theological work, including The Man Born to Be King, Creed or Chaos, and The Mind of the Maker, highlighting her conviction that the drama of redemption is the greatest story ever told. Lynn and Josephine also unpack Sayers’ provocative essays “Are Women Human?” and “Human Not Quite Human,” tracing her vision of work, creativity, and full human dignity for women and men, set against both her own complicated personal story and ongoing debates in the church today.
