REL 2202 - Women in the Bible

Institution:

College of the Florida Keys

Subject:

REL - Religion

Description:

An introductory, undergraduate course focusing on the wisdom and witness of women in Old and New Testament texts. The course will reflect the most recent scholarship in the biblical field. During the past 20 years biblical commentators, archeologists and theologians have labored to liberate today's students from the patriarchal bias common to the academy of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Contemporary scholarship shines a potent, clear light on the social, political, and economic dimensions of the biblical narratives. The course will reflect the labor of these modern scholars who reconstruct the hidden history of women, and other dominated classes of people portrayed in the texts. Fresh insights into the ancient texts nurture the rising consciousness of woman and men around the world who find themselves in oppressed circumstances. The course will affirm women acknowledging them as fully human partners with men in the biblical witness. Includes a 6,000 word writing requirement.
