Women in the Bible 2.0: Remembered, Misread and Erased

Fridays, April 10, 17 & 24 • 3pm-4:30pm U.S. CDT

From midwives who resisted empire to an apostle later turned into a man by translators, the women of the Bible reveal a far more complex story than most readers have been taught.

The Bible did not erase women. But the way it has been taught often did. Hidden in its pages are women who defy kings, change the law, challenge prophets, lead armies, fund the early church, and proclaim the resurrection. Some of them shape the entire biblical story.

Yet many were later misunderstood, mistranslated, or minimized through centuries of interpretation and tradition.

In this three-part series we will rediscover both the famous and the forgotten women of the Tanakh and the Christian scriptures, drawing on the scholarship of Amy-Jill Levine, Elizabeth Schrader Polczer, and others who are helping readers see the text with fresh eyes.

Together we will explore questions like:

• Why do we know the names of only a few biblical women when more than ninety appear in scripture?
• How have translation and manuscript traditions reshaped their stories?
• What happens when we listen again to voices that tradition often ignored?

Some women in this class will be familiar. Others will surprise you.

And a few will change the way you read the Bible forever.
