A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on groundbreaking research, \u003ci\u003eNobody's Mother\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how better background information supports faithful interpretation. Combining spiritual autobiography with scholarly exploration, Glahn takes listeners on a journey to ancient Ephesus and across early church history. Unveiling the cult of Artemis and how early Christians related to it can give us a clearer sense of the type of radical, countercultural fellowship the New Testament writers intended Christ's church to be.","brand":"EChristian, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46364458483953,"sku":"2940159582836","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/2940159582836_p0.jpg?v=1764912819","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940159582836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
