BIBLICAL WOMEN
July 11 - 26 2021
PROGRAM
PRINCIPAL LECTURER
Dr. Callie Callon PhD
OVERVIEW
Many of the women who are portrayed in the bible are frequently either underdiscussed or misinterpreted in much of contemporary popular thought. The primary focus of this course will be to address this in two ways. First, by highlighting the accomplishments of women in both testaments who played authoritative and significant roles in Israelite and early Christian historical memory, ranging from Miriam to Phoebe. Second, by a closer reading and re-examination of women whose narratives have been misunderstood or misrepresented – beginning with Eve and ending with Mary (not a prostitute!) Magdalene.
