RLG3104H: Feminist and Womanist Biblical Interpretation

Both "feminist" and "womanist" are terms that are greatly debated. Alice Walker popularized the term "womanist" in her 1983 collection of essays In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose. Walker's four-part definition includes a definition of a "womanist" as "a black feminist or feminist of color." This course provides a survey of the history and development of feminist and womanist biblical interpretation in North America. It includes interpreters of the Hebrew Bible (sometimes called Old Testament or Tanakh) and New Testament

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
