Modern biblical criticism has enabled us to develop both a better, more accurate text of the biblical books and a clearer understanding of their historical context. More recently, social criticism and the hermeneutics developed by various interest groups - women, African-Americans and Hispanics, most notably - have given us further insight into the social identity of new testament figures, often allegorized beyond all historical reality. The women who worked with Jesus, or even those who merely encountered him briefly, have taken on three-dimensional reality. In this class we will investigate the reasons they loved him, what Christ and the women taught each other.
