Teaching biblical studies is like taking a daily walk down the streets of the ancient world, and during that walk a dialogue takes place between those fascinating centuries and our own, especially on the level of theological and social developments. In this lecture, Florence Gillman will reflect on a career in biblical studies that has interestingly paralleled and been much affected by the feminist movement’s resurgence from the latter decades of the 20th century. Florence Gillman, PhD, STD. is Professor Emerita, Theology and Religious Studies.

The Humanities Center's Minerva Lecture Series is designed to honor the ideas of retired and emeriti USD faculty members and to provide a showcase for their reflections on the life of the mind. Such wisdom is acquired after a lifetime of work in the field of education.
