The Future of the Bible as Teacher: Quilting a Biblical Pattern
Speaker(s): Letty Russell
Description: This presentation was at the Scarritt Bennett Center in Nashville. From Wikipedia: Rev. Letty Mandeville Russell (1929-2007) was a feminist theologian and professor. She was a member of the first class of women admitted to Harvard Divinity School, and one of the first women ordained in the United Presbyterian Church. After earning a doctorate in theology at Union Theological Seminary, she joined the faculty at Yale Divinity School, where she taught for 28 years. Russell was a pioneer in the field of feminist theology. She authored, co-authored or edited over 17 books, including: Feminist Interpretation of the Bible (1985), Inheriting our Mothers' Garden: Feminist Theology in Third World Perspective (1988), Church in the Round: Feminist Interpretation of the Church (1993), and Dictionary of Feminist Theologies (1996). She has been described as a "prominent matriarch of contemporary feminist bible criticism". She was also active in the ecumenical movement, and worked closely with the National Council of Churches, the World Council of Churches, and the YWCA. The Q&A session starts about 36 minutes in. There were 3-4 questions from the audience, removed in editing because they could not be heard.
