Women Expounding Scripture
Episode 5:
Women Expounding Scripture
Amy Easton-Flake
April 2020
The Lord told Emma Smith to 鈥渆xpound scriptures鈥 by the Spirit, saying this was his 鈥渧oice unto all.鈥 So how did women of the Church in the 19th century use the scriptures, in particular the Bible, in their teaching, exhorting, and writing? In this episode, Dr. Amy Easton-Flake discusses her research publications about how early Latter-day Saint women used scripture to understand their divine roles and change their society, and why modern Latter-day Saint women should do the same.
