Boldern/Switzerland, May 29 @ 5:30 pm

Join me at Boldern Conference Center in Zürich/Switzerland on May 29, 2008 at 5:30 pm (Hirschengraben 50).

In conjunction with a conference on "The Bible in a (Political) Crisis: Feminist Contributions from the USA", I will give a lecture on "Die Krux mit der Bibelbuchstäblichkeit: Die Christliche Rechte in den USA."

This talk is based on several of my publications, such as:
  • “Eve’s Daughters Liberated? The Book of Genesis in Feminist Biblical Studies.” In All the Women Went Out After Her: A Retrospective of Feminist Hermeneutics of the Hebrew Bible, ed. F. Rachel Magdalene (Sheffield: Sheffield Phoenix Press, forthcoming)
  • “Bible Truth, Mega Churches, and the Christian Right in the USA.” In Theologie von Frauen für Frauen? Chancen und Probleme der Rückbindung feministischer Theologie an die Praxis. Beiträge zum Internationalen Kongress anlässlich des zwanzigjährigen Gründungsjubiläums der Europäischen Gesellschaft für theologische Forschung von Frauen (ESWTR), ed. Irmtraud Fischer, 202-226. Münster: LIT, 2007.
  • “The Christian Right’s Discourse on Gender and the Bible.” Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion 21, no. 1 (Spring 2005): 83-104.

As usual, copies of Introducing the Women's Hebrew Bible will be available for purchase. See you then and there!
