This year's holder of the annual Nadine Beacham and Charlton F. Hall Sr. Lectureship in New Testament Studies and Early Christianity, March 29 and 30, 2007, will be a self-described "Yankee Jewish feminist." Amy-Jill Levine is the E. Rhodes and Leonora B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studies and Director of the Carpenter Program in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality at the Divinity School, Vanderbilt University.
In her books and articles, Levine addresses Christian origins, Jewish-Christian relations, and sexuality, gender, and the Bible. She is currently editing a fourteen-volume series, The Feminist Companion to the New Testament and Early Church Writing. Before coming to Vanderbilt, she held a chaired professorship at Swarthmore College and taught at Duke and UNC/Chapel Hill.
