Religious Studies 206 or permission of the instructor required. Seminar in Feminist Interpretation of Scripture. This seminar examines the premise that both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament were produced and canonized by societies that were patriarchal in their structure and in their very essence. We then ask how, if at all, a modern woman of faith can use these documents to express her own religiosity. Readings are from the works of several feminist interpreters of Scripture and feminist theologians from both Christian and Jewish traditions.
