"What
do the Bible and feminism have to do with each other? Quite a lot, says
two biblical scholars coming to speak at Trinity Western University," notes an article in
the Advance of Langley, British Columbia, Canada. "Three waves of feminism, from the late 19th century to
the present, have considered the Bible to be a critical text both for
and against women's liberation. The Levisons, a theologian and a biblical scholar respectively, will briefly explore each wave's biblical interpretation" in their presentation, "The Bible and Feminism."
Priscilla Pope-Levison's books include Turn the Pulpit Loose: Two Centuries of American Women Evangelists and Jesus in Global Contexts, a collaboration with her husband.
