Episode Details

Dr. Carol Meyers (Ph.D. Brandeis) is an American feminist biblical scholar. She is the Mary Grace Wilson Professor Emerita of Religious Studies at Duke University. Meyers' field of research is focused on biblical studies, archaeology in the Middle East, and the study of women in the biblical world. In this podcast conversation, we talk about her fascinating essay: "Was Ancient Israel a Patriarchal Culture" (JBL 2014), where she argues for the concept of heterarchy rather than patriarchy as a better description of the role women played in ancient Israelite culture. https://scholars.duke.edu/person/carol Register for the Austin conference on sexualtiy (Sept 17-18) here: https://www.centerforfaith.com/programs/leadership-forums/faith-sexuality-and-gender-conference-live-in-austin-or-stream-onlineRegister for the Exiles 2 day conference in Denver (Oct 4-5) here: https://theologyintheraw.com/exiles-denver/
