This course addresses "Women and the Bible" in a threefold manner: it examines the portrayal of women and female imagery in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures; considers some of the ways that the Bible has been used historically to define and often confine women, and surveys contemporary reinterpretations of biblical stories by theologians, artists and authors.

Prerequisite(s): A 1020 level Religious Studies Course, or Women's Studies 1020E, or permission of the Department.
