Evil Queens and Wicked Stepmothers: Villainesses in the Bible


ONLINE

From Delilah and Jezebel to the Whore of Babylon, scripture offers strong archetypes of villainesses. In this six-week course through Woodbrooke Quaker Centre, we will consider the stories of these evil queens and wicked stepmothers in the Bible and how they appear in culture. How can we understand and transcend these narratives? How do they reflect our own experiences? The course will include a combination of lectures and experiential activities, with small and large group discussions. We will use spiritual practices to empathise with these women and understand how they fit into the Biblical tradition.
