BIBLICAL STUDIES

THEOLOGY

Carolyn Schneider "Theological Meaning in Genetic Research and Evolutionary Theory" In Christianity and the Human Body: Proceedings of the ITEST Workshop, October, 2000. eds. Brungs, Robert, and Marianne Postiglione. St. Louis, MO: ITEST Faith/Science Press 2001

This article brings science and theology into conversation by looking at the Human Genome Project through the lens of theological anthropology. For example, the biblical portrayal of Wisdom as the creative logic of the universe can absorb the insights into the connection of all life gained from the study of DNA, and Wisdom‘s embodiment in Jesus can challenge the discriminatory use of DNA.

CHURCH HISTORY AND HISTORICAL THEOLOGY

Joy Schroeder "Envying Jephthah‘s Daughter: Judges 11 in the Thought of Arcangela Tarabotti (1604-1652)" In Strangely Familiar: Protofeminist Interpretations of Patriarchal Texts. eds. Nancy Calvert-Koyzis and Heather E. Weir. Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature 2009 : 75-91

Arcangela Tarabotti, a seventeenth-century Venetian nun, forced into a Benedictine convent against her will, wrote a protest against the involuntary monastic enclosure of women entitled Paternal Tyranny. In what may be the earliest extant example of a woman‘s exegesis of Judges 11, Tarabotti argues that the tragic sacrifice of Jephthah‘s daughter was less violent than imprisoning women in convents for their entire lives.

Joy Schroeder "Virgin and Martyr: Divine Protection from Sexual Assault in the Peristephanon of Prudentius" In Miracles in Jewish and Christian Antiquity: Imagining Truth. ed. John Cavadini. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press 1999 : 169-191

Schroeder argues that the earliest martyrdom accounts sensitively acknowledged the sexual assault of Christian martyrs. Later accounts, written after persecution had ceased, stressed the inviolability of the virgin martyr, who remained passive and was protected by Christ, her jealous bridegroom. Thus the literary virgin martyr who was truly faithful could not be raped against her will.
