This course explores the current status of feminist biblical interpretation focusing on the major female characters of the Bible and on the ways modern women of diverse backgrounds interpret them. We will use the tools of academic criticism (historical, literary, rhetorical, et al.) in an attempt to understand the places, roles, and agency of women in the biblical text, in the ancient world that lies behind the text, and in the worlds formed on the belief that these biblical texts are sacred scripture.
