Lynn H. Cohick: God Shows No Favouritism – the Body of Christ & the Household Codes in Ephesians

Regent’s Evening Public Lecture series is back for another summer! Join us in person or online to explore Scripture, theology, culture, and much more with Summer Programs faculty and other exciting speakers.

To livestream this and other Evening Public Lectures, visit us at rgnt.net/live.

ABOUT THE LECTURE

The Household Codes (Eph 5:21-6:9) are among the most difficult passages in the New Testament for modern readers. Paul calls Christians to submit to each other, and he insists that God does not prefer one group over another. A careful reading of Ephesians helps us live out this gospel truth in our communities.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Lynn Cohick is Provost/Dean and Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. She explores the social world of the early Church, with a focus on the Apostle Paul and his letters.
