Description

This course will introduce a critical feminist rhetorical reading of "gospel" stories about wo/men in order to assess whether they are "good news" for wo/men. Special attention will be given to the significance of social location, critical methods, and historical imagination for the interpretation and significance of these stories about Jewish wo/men for contemporary religious self-understanding and ministerial praxis. Lectures, group discussions and group projects seek to foster a participatory democratic style of learning. Note: Course has additional hour to be arranged.
