This course will examine how the Bible has been read, interpreted, and proclaimed by women beginning with the period of the early church and including the writings of medieval visionaries, renaissance exegetes and continuing into the modern and post-modern periods. Women’s interpretations of the Bible will be examined with a view to recovering women’s readings and counter-readings of biblical texts and raising relevant methodological and hermeneutical questions for modern readers. We will particularly focus particularly on women’s interpretations of Genesis 1-3 and Pauline texts.
