Women in Power and Powerful Women in the Bible

The Bible is full of stories involving women – in battle, in peril, in moral quandaries. Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky has dedicated her scholarship to powerful woman of the Bible, their legacies in our culture and their impact on our lives today. Deeply committed to fostering learning, Dr. Kalmanofsky helps people understand and appreciate the Bible’s complex beauty and meaning so that you, too, can become a careful and creative interpreter of its text.

Dr. Kalmanofsky, who has written numerous books and articles examining the biblical representation of women and the roles women play in the Bible, is the dean of the Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary.
