"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting."
-- Proverbs 31:30
Course Description :
How much of what you "know" about the women of the Bible is actually in the text — and how much is centuries of reputation? Over ten sessions we'll find out, reading the most notorious women of Tanakh on their own terms: Dinah, Tamar, Bathsheba, Jezebel, Abigail, Delilah, and more. These are the sharpest and most uncomfortable stories in the tradition, and once you meet these women up close, you may decide you had them wrong.
