Biblical women have often been overlooked or marginalized by our religious traditions. However, when we revisit them with fresh eyes, we discover that they can enrich our spiritual lives and self-identities. This talk will look at a handful of biblical women, considering their depiction in Judaism, Christianity, and Western culture, and introducing modern perspectives on these biblical women. We will emphasize using an imaginative interpretation style that brings our questions and concerns to the forefront, and ultimately invites us to befriend these women as our spiritual older sisters, friends, and role models.
