About The Event:

Reading the Bible’s only two works named after women as belonging to one sustained conversation reveals two vastly different portrayals of heroism, narrative arc, and female power.  In this comparative study, we argue for — and spell out the implications of — reading Esther and Ruth in light of each other.
