Subversive and Unconventional Women

Join Rev A/Prof Monica Melanchthon in this exciting winter intensive: Ruth, Esther, Song of Songs, Judith, Susannah: Allusive, Unconventional, Subversive, Resistant

These books with women protagonists written within a rigid patriarchal culture are subversive, unconventional, and exciting. Are these women, heroes or idealized stooges of patriarchy? What do they reveal about the times in which they were written? What issues are they addressing? You are invited to explore these books and reflect on these questions, and consider issues of identity, gender, sexuality, beauty, power, solidarity, partnership and theology derived from women’s experience and what these books might be saying to us today.

The intensive runs over 6 days in July, both online or in-person: 9-11 July and 14-16 July. Enrol by 18 June
