Women in the Hebrew Bible: Genesis

Women in the Hebrew Bible: Genesis

In this course, Dr. Meyer will help you get better acquainted with some of the named women in the book of Genesis. You will focus on the text for their stories, skipping over a lot of text that interrupts their narratives. Dr. Meyer will point out some of the problems with translations of the Hebrew  into English and point out many of the ways that women are pawns in the narrative or, in some cases, how they freaking rock!
