We have a special treat for you! As we reach the halfway point of Season 10 of The Collective Table Podcast, we’re celebrating with a bonus episode—the full, uncut interview with the brilliant Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney.
If you were inspired by our two-part conversation last month, now you can experience the entire discussion in one uninterrupted episode. Dr. Gafney’s insights into Scripture, theology, and justice are too rich to be confined to short segments, so we’re bringing you the full conversation as it happened.
Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney is a biblical scholar, Episcopal priest, and professor of Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School. She is a leading voice in womanist biblical interpretation, a perspective that centers the voices of women and marginalized people in Scripture. Her books, Womanist Midrash and A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church, challenge traditional readings of the Bible and offer a justice-centered, inclusive approach to engaging with Scripture.
In this full-length conversation, Claire and Jason sit down with Dr. Gafney to explore:
✔️ How to read Scripture with a sanctified imagination
✔️ Breaking free from patriarchal and colonial interpretations of the Bible
✔️ Why womanist biblical interpretation matters for justice and inclusion
✔️ The importance of centering women’s voices in theology and church leadership
Dr. Gafney’s work reminds us that the Bible is not a static text—it’s a living, dynamic conversation that calls us to greater empathy, justice, and connection.
