Women of the Reformation | Suki Goonatilleke
Descriptions
The Reformation was led by men like Luther, Calvin and Zwingli who revolutionized their world and ours. But there were also many remarkable women who defied social biases and traditions with a dauntless commitment to God’s Word. This is a podcast with author Sukeshinie Goonatilleke and Adam Ramdin digging deeper into her Women of the reformation book about the true stories of women who battled through trials and challenges to stand up for God. These women were heads of state, writers, activists, poets and scholars but they were also very human, with their own loves, fears, heartbreaks and temptations. When we are called to stand for our faith, we can be inspired by their legacy.
