Description
This course explores the approaches of diverse communities of women to interpreting the Bible, including feminist, womanist, and Latinx perspectives, and those of non-academically trained female interpreters. It examines the shared questions and concerns that many of these interpreters bring to the Bible while also analyzing how differences in women’s particular experiences, based on factors such as cultural context, race, social class, and theological perspective, uniquely shape their approaches to biblical interpretation. Students will consider how similar factors in their own lives inform their approaches to biblical interpretation in diverse settings.
