CLAS 3600 - Women in the Hebrew Bible

Institution:

Tulane University of Louisiana

Subject:

Classics

Description:

Staff. Women play a significant role in the Bible, one that is often at best misunderstood and at worst ignored. In this class we will examine the biblical stories and their historical context in order to understand the role of women in the biblical period as well as the role of the figures within the biblical text. We will also examine modern interpretations of these texts (including feminist readings and creative fiction based upon the biblical text) to see how modern scholars have understood these ancient texts in modern times. (Same as JWST 360.)
