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. This course invites students to explore the intersections of biblical interpretation, storytelling traditions, and gender studies, examining how women are portrayed, remembered, and interpreted in biblical texts across different cultural and historical contexts.

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.
