SUMMARY:25-26 WLI Course: Womanist Biblical Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: \nThis course introduces students to the concept\, methods\, scholars\, and practice of womanist biblical interpretation. Students will engage in diverse readings that center on the experiences of Black women and explore how womanist interpretation offers new insights into the biblical text\, while sometimes challenging dominant interpretative traditions. \nThis is a core course in the 6-course Womanist Leadership Institute program \nMeet the Instructor \n \nRev. Dr. Kamilah Hall Sharp enjoys examining the intersection of race\, gender\, and class with the biblical text and contemporary culture using a trauma-informed womanist approach. She is currently working on her manuscript examining survival in the book of Esther. Her experience in church planting\, pastoring\, and community organizing has shaped her interest in womanist ecclesiology\, womanist leadership\, and the dynamics of thriving in public ministry\, which are also areas of her research interest. She is an ordained minister in the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) and currently serves as a Co-Pastor at The Gathering\, A Womanist Church. \nDates: Tuesdays\, 7-9pm EST\, January 6 – February 10\, 2026 \nRegistration closes on January 2\, 2026\, 2 business days before the first class meeting \nOffered by the Leadership Institute at Union Presbyterian Seminary\n \n\nIf you are in financial need of a discounted registration fee\, please contact Deborah Keyes\, subject line “WLIWBI: Financial Aid”. \nUPSem faculty\, staff\, and students can register for this class for free.
