Seeking Understanding: Women and Justice

“Seeking Understanding: Some Issues in Biblical Interpretation Regarding Women and Justice”

As part of the development of a social statement, the ELCA Women and Justice: One in Christ task force has produced a study utilizing Book of Faith initiative materials to encourage discussions on the topic of women and the Bible. There is a leader’s guide and handout for each of the three sessions along with a background paper written by Erik Heen, professor at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. The study can be used with a variety of classes or groups. It is available for download at the ELCA website.

Congregations are encouraged to contact the task force at womenandjustice@elca.org with thoughts and reflections after utilizing the study.
