The material provokes thought and dialogue regarding the biblical writers’ perspectives on gender, sexuality and personhood. Students are encouraged to think honestly and courageously about their own assumptions regarding authority and identity and participation in unjust social systems. Students learn new methodologies to analyze gender and sexuality in order to rethink long-held social norms. Throughout the course, students regularly reflect on how biblical representations impact the roles of women and men in contemporary society. Prerequisite: THRS 117.
