Uppity Women of the Bible: Song of Songs Week 4

Uppity Women of the Bible is a DVD-based series featuring Hebrew Bible professor Dr. Lisa Wolfe. Combining careful scholarship with humor and fresh insights, Dr. Wolfe presents a lively, thoughtful discussion of Ruth, The Song of Songs, and Judith in 10-15 minute snippets (a sample segment can be viewed here). Each time we meet, we'll catch up with one another, watch the 10-15 minute video, discuss what we've seen and read (participants will be invited to read the Scripture being discussed), and enjoy one another's company. This week we conclude our series on The Song of Songs (also called The Song of Solomon). We'll consider Who wrote it? What sort of people are the main characters? Is it based in history, mythology or both? As we enter into the world of the lovers RaÂÂ'yati and Dodi, we will have plenty of opportunities to laugh and even blush. The Song of Songs invites us into the adventure of re-reading and re-imagining this powerful and intriguing work of poetry and literature. Please bring a Bible, if you have one. Extras will be available. Any translation is fine. Please feel free to invite your women friends by forwarding this e-mail. . . and, be sure to let us know if you'll be coming by clicking here and joining the group.
