“The
Women and the Bible” symposium will feature a morning panel spanning
the timeline of Christian history: from a reevaluation of 1st
Thessalonians in context of its female audience by Lindsey Trozzo
(Baylor University), to a discussion of female patronage of the Bible
during Reformation England by Melissa Franklin-Harkrider (Wheaton
College), to an examination of an early twentieth-century female
missionary who retranslated the Bible in a radically gender attentive
way by Kristin Kobes Du Mez (Calvin College). The afternoon will feature
the lecture “Weak and Silent Vessels: The Impact of the English Bible
on Christian Women” by Beth Allison Barr (Baylor University), and
culminate with the lecture “Joanna—The Untold Story” by Ben Witherington
III (Asbury Theological Seminary). - See more at:
