The Breakable Queen Jezebel: The Making and Breaking of the Bible’s Greatest Villain
Tuesday, December 8, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET
Jezebel is a woman with a reputation, yet her biblical story does not support the reputation she has earned. In this class we will examine the threat posed by—and the power wielded by—Queen Jezebel; how her story reflects biblical anxieties towards women; and why Jezebel has intrigued and terrified readers for generations.
With Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky, Dean of List College and the Kekst Graduate School and Blanche and Romie Shapiro Professor of Bible, JTS.
