Okay but HOW is this the first time I'm seeing ANYONE in Protestantism focus on the role of Mary, mother of God during Jesus' ministry and providing continuity for the church after his death. Like if NT elders really are just those in a congregation who have been in the faith longer, who could have been in the faith longer than her?

Okay this nuanced take on women in the Roman Empire is what I needed, thank you (I never believed the "ACTUALLY women in ancient Rome did LOTS of things" take. Like yes I'm sure they did but was it allowed?). Also was no one going to tell me that women in the Jewish diaspora acted as synagogue leaders???

Can't believe this is the first time I've ever heard anyone point out that the Old Testament judge Deborah is the only judge in the book of Judges about whom nothing, not a single discreditable thing, is recorded.
