StoryTelling as Oral Exegesis: Women in the Bible
About Course
Delve into the rich tapestry of biblical narratives through the lens of storytelling and oral exegesis, with a particular focus on the often overlooked voices and roles of women in the Bible.

By considering various perspectives, including feminist, literary, and theological approaches, students will deepen their understanding of the complexities of these narratives and the significance of women’s experiences within them. Through guided reflections, creative projects, and interactive discussions, students will also explore how storytelling continues to shape contemporary understandings of gender, spirituality, and identity.
