RST 266 - Race, Class, Gender and Ability in Biblical TextsThree Credits
Both Fall and Spring
Biblical texts reflect the social issues of the ancient world, which are often similar to modern issues of inclusion. We analyze parts of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, Ruth, Esther, Matthew, Mark, Paul’s letters, and other texts to understand how they viewed race, class, gender, and ability, and discuss how ancient and modern perceptions can be compared.
