The Gender of God in Ancient Israel

Part of our spring learning series, Relating to God

With Dr. Benjamin Sommer, Professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages

How did the biblical authors, and other Israelites, view the gender of God? Did they perceive God to be male? Did any of them perceive God as female? To answer this question, we will examine both several biblical texts as well as archaeological evidence.

If you have previously registered for another session in the Relating to God series (April 25鈥揗ay 23), your registration admits you to all sessions in this series, and you may attend as many as you鈥檇 like.

Note: The Zoom link for this session will be in the confirmation email that you will receive after you register.
