Description

From Eve in Genesis to Judith in the Apocrypha, women have been characterized as a subversive force in biblical literature. This course will engage in close readings of biblical texts in which women's deceptions advance divine goals. Reading biblical texts in light of gender discourse, we will explore how feminist hermeneutics engages with or disengages from traditional exegetical approaches.
