Great Part Deux, Sandi! There is something so richly satisfying about knowing the cultural context for scriptural details.Thank you for all the research and time that went into this two-fer!

I loved Kelley's insight question about the "saved through childbirth" verse in chapter 2. Oh, so maybe women will be "delivered through delivery" NOT by Artemis Ephesia, but through faith in the Lord??? Seems appropriate. . . . I mean, how many times have those attending women in labor heard the phrase, "OH GOD!!"? (No irreverence meant, I promise!)
