2000-year-old-mystery SOLVED: BYU professor uncovered the identity of the “elect lady” of 2nd John

Cardon Ellis, co-host Jonah Barnes, and special guest Dr. Lincoln Blumel from BYU dive into one of the most intriguing and recently solved mysteries from the New Testament.

The episode centers around Dr. Blumel’s groundbreaking discovery: the real identity of the "elect lady" mentioned in Second John in the Bible. For nearly 2,000 years, scholars and translators have debated whether the recipient of the letter was a metaphor, a church, or an unnamed woman. Dr. Blumel’s scholarship and expertise in ancient Greek papyri led him to the revelation that the "elect lady" wasn’t a metaphor at all—but a real woman named Eclecta, whose name was obscured due to a minor but significant transcription error in ancient Greek manuscripts.
