This episode of You Can Handle the Truth! features Shane Rosenthal, host of The Humble Skeptic, who reveals why Joanna—the overlooked woman in Luke’s Gospel—might have been the key eyewitness for Luke’s entire account.
We unpack archeological evidence, literary structures in Luke 24, and Joanna’s noble status as the granddaughter of Theophilus, the high priest. Shane also shares his powerful testimony of coming to faith after growing up in a secular Jewish home.
This episode is a must-listen for Christian women, Bible nerds, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the reliability of Scripture and the role of women in the early church.
