To address these and other issues pertinent to contemporary concerns about sexism in our society, this course engages in a comprehensive examination of diverse biblical texts and their interpretation by contemporary scholars. The course will provide ample opportunity to explore the obvious patriarchy of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures and its occasionally forthright disavowal of sexism. Instructor J. Kenneth Kuntz , Professor of Religion at The University of Iowa and an ordained minister, received his B.D. from Yale University Divinity School and his Ph.D. from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. His special area of study is the world of the Old Testament. Orders are shipped via UPS, so please include a street address.

Since changes in edition can take place, students are advised to wait and purchase texts after enrolling in the course and receiving the course study guide. No specific version or translation is required. Even so, you should know that when biblical citations appear in the study guide, they are drawn from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
