USSY 257 - Women and Folklore in the Bible

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

From Ishtar to Esther, the Virgin Mary to Mary Madalene, we will examine women in biblical text to determine how these texts came to be, and how their traditional interpretation has shaped images of, and attitudes toward, women in western civilization. Following this line of inquiry, we will examine key distinctions between traditional and academic sense-making strategies to account for differences between traditional and modern visions of womanhood.
