Born of a Woman

Born of a Woman

Amy Peeler—in conversation with other Biblical scholars—offers refreshing Scriptural interpretations that explore the role of Mary and the incarnation, our gendered language for God and the roles of women and men in the church.

Amy Peeler is the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College.

“The church is at its best when the church is a community who embodies a full embrace of the distinct gifts of women and men without any limitations due to sex.”
