Lecture 3 “A World Beneath the Waves: Womanist Midrash”
Tuesday 27 May at 10.00am at the University Church
The two volumes of Womanist Midrash employ translation-based exegesis in conversation with classical rabbinic midrash and the homiletic of the sanctified imagination in black preaching. This lecture will present readings from each volume of the series focusing on the contemporary midrashic elements and delineate the ways in which they put flesh on the bones of the biblical text.
