Over the years, that perspective has been shattered by the evidence that I have found in Scripture and in history. I have studied these Scriptures in multiple languages and in great depth. I am a specialist in Biblical languages and have a BA in Biblical Languages, a Masters in Theological Research and a PhD. in New Testament Theology. I studied with some great scholars while in Durham, England: scholars such as Loren Stuckenbruck, James D. G. Dunn, and Robert Hayward. I believe that all of my research and study has opened my eyes to a major flaw in the way most Evangelical churches treat women and utilize their God-given gifts.<\/p><div class=\"organic-profile-social\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-35","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/839057\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
