BIB 515 Women, Gender and Biblical Narrative
Scholarship on women and gender in the Hebrew Bible has transformed the field of biblical studies. Over the past five decades, a rich conversation of diverse voices has developed among scholars working from a range of methodological perspectives. The goal of this class is to engage with as wide a selection of these perspectives as possible through in-depth study of selected biblical texts. While engaging multiple approaches to the study of women and gender, students will develop their own analytical skills as readers of biblical texts in ways that can be transferred to their future careers.
