Thou Shalt Not Mansplain?

"Thou Shalt Not Mansplain?" – The UnShaw Podcast Series 3 Episode 9

In this episode off the podcast, we turn our attention to one of the most debated questions in Christianity: what does the Bible really say about women? From passages urging …silence in church to stories of strong and influential female figures, the texts themselves appear to offer conflicting visions. Are these contradictions evidence of divine intent, cultural baggage, or human misinterpretation?

Joining me are two returning voices to the show. Author Mark Alsip argues that the Bible and its traditional interpretations have long upheld patriarchal control, while Christian Nick Cowan presents the counterpoint: that Scripture, when understood properly, elevates women in ways often overlooked. Together we explore whether the Bible truly offers guidance for equality, or whether its ambiguities have fueled centuries of oppression.Show More
