We will examine each of the 27 New Testament books to see what role women play, what they say and do, and what others say about them. How have scholars understood these women over the last two millennia and what has changed lately in their attitudes?

Classes will be conducted by lecture and discussion, with the first class introducing the text and the society within which it was created. Please read the two Thessalonian letters for the first class.

Instructor Ken Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister. This study group for those 50 and over will be held on Wednesdays from May 2 to May 30.
