BAF/BASONOVA Zoom Lecture - Unholy Texts: Biblical Rape Narratives
Wednesday, July 14, 2021 • 5 Av 5781
8:00 PM - 9:00 PMZoomUnholy Texts: Biblical Rape Narratives with Carl Ehrlich, York University
The topic of rape appears a number of times in the Hebrew Bible. It is broached both explicitly and implicitly, reflected in a number of literary genres, including legal, narrative, poetic, and prophetic texts.
The violent act of rape is nowhere condoned, and was a tragic fact of life in the biblical world (as it is in ours), yet it still found a place in our sacred texts. Why was this? What was the context? This lecture surveys biblical texts relating to rape in a number of these literary genres and attempts to classify the allusions to rape according to various literary, social, theological, and legal criteria.
