Presbyterian Research Network presents:

“A Scripture of Their Own”
The Forgotten Voices of 19th Century Women Biblical Interpreters

Thursday 27 February, 5:30 pm (with refreshments from 5 pm)
KCML Seminar Room, Knox College, Arden Street, Dunedin

Through a diverse collection of literature, particularly biographies of biblical women, 19th century women shaped “a scripture of their own”. By reading the “feminine” into the biblical text they created a discourse to empower women to claim “her-story” of spiritual heritage and Christian service. The recent research into the history of women’s biblical writings is exciting and offers new insight into the lived faith experience that shaped women’s place and role in an era of religious, social, political and economic change.

This event is free and open to the public. See you there!
