Sophia Gawel '22

This book was assigned reading for Professor Susan Ackerman's course on Women and the Bible. Reading it was perhaps the first time that I truly did not want to put down my school work. In Phyllis Trible's forceful reading of female-terror narratives within the Bible, I found a love for feminist biblical criticism as well as a need to reevaluate my relationship to and understanding of the Bible. I believe that it is because of these revelations that I decided to become a Religion major and focus my studies on dimensions of gender within religious traditions.
