An essay written as part of my Grad. Dip. Theology in 2015.
Phyllis Trible is a North American academic who has held professorial positions at Wake Forest University, Andover-Newton Theological School and Union Theological Seminary. In the brief article “Feminist Hermeneutics and Biblical Studies”, published in 1982, she describes “three approaches to the study of women in Scripture”. The scope of Trible’s comments is restricted to Hebrew Scriptures, which were “born and bred in a land of patriarchy”, though the observations easily generalise to the whole of the Christian Bible and its traditional interpretation.
My essay, submitted as part of the Grad Diploma in Theology at Charles Sturt Uni, is a brief summary and commentary on Trible’s article.
