RELG 014. Race, Gender, and Sex in the Bible Is the Bible racist? Sexist? Homophobic? This course introduces students to the academic study of the Bible and critical theories about gender, race, sexuality, and ethnicity. How is it that the Bible has been mobilized to support racist, homophobic, and misogynist ideologies and that the same Bible has been used to subvert, undermine, and ultimately try to eradicate these same ideologies? Course readings focus on black feminist, womanist, African American, Asian American, and Latinx biblical interpretations. Humanities. 1 credit.
