Did Plato possess a Greek Bible centuries before the Septuagint? In the second century, Christian philosopher Justin Martyr made a remarkable accusation: Plato had taken one of his most famous statements about human freedom and divine innocence directly from Moses: “The choice makes you responsible. God is not responsible.” Known in Greek as Aitia helomenou. Theos anaitios, these words appear in Plato’s Myth of Er at the conclusion of the Republic. Yet Justin insisted that Plato had not originated the teaching.

For generations, the Black Church stood at the center of Black American life. It was more than a place of worship. It was a school, a refuge, a political engine, a cultural anchor, and a moral voice in a country that often denied Black people dignity, protection, and justice. But something changed.

Before there was a title, there was a cross. The call of Christ has never been an invitation to comfort. It has always been an invitation to surrender. The early disciples did not follow Jesus into platforms, pulpits, or prominence—they followed Him toward suffering, rejection, and, for many, execution. Somewhere between Scripture and modern ministry, the cost was softened. In You Agreed to Die, Dr. Jasmine Baker confronts the dangerous gap between contemporary ideas of calling and the biblical reality of discipleship.

Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women.
