These parables can be read as universal teachings about theology or salvation. They should also correct erroneous stereotypes of Jewish women, prompt necessary questions about gender, and offer provocative insights into ancient and modern relationships. Sponsored by the School of Theology and Ministry Amy-Jill Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies and E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studies at Vanderbilt University. Find a transcript of this event here: https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/bc1/sc...
