SUMMARY:Pagan\, Jewish and Christian Women in the Roman Empire: Literary and Archaeological Evidence
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Women’s History Month\, Dr. Valerie A. Abrahamsen will present recent scholarly research\, which clearly shows that women had much larger roles in the early Roman Empire than previously acknowledged. In this slide presentation we will explore women in antiquity using literary and archaeological evidence. Women in Graeco-Roman cults\, Judaism\, and the early Jesus groups served as priestesses\, synagogue leaders\, missionaries\, apostles\, and possibly even bishops. Contrary to traditions that still impact us in the West\, we will see how ancient texts have been misinterpreted for centuries and how archaeology can not only expand our knowledge of the ancient world but also help promote justice and equality in our own society. \nValerie A. Abrahamsen holds the Master of Theological Studies and Doctor of Theology degrees in New Testament and Early Christian Origins from Harvard Divinity School. She is the author of over 100 articles\, reviews and book chapters in New Testament archaeology\, early church history\, women in antiquity\, and ancient goddess religion\, and she has published two books in these fields: Women and Worship at Philippi (1995) and Goddess and God: A Holy Tension in the First Christian Centuries (2006).

SUMMARY:March Sci-Fi Reading Group Meetup
DESCRIPTION:The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet Monday\, March 18th\, in the Quiet Reading Room from 7-8:30 pm to discuss Pet by Akwaeke Emezi. \n“There are no monsters anymore\, or so the children in the city of Lucille are taught. Jam and her best friend\, Redemption\, have grown up with this lesson all their life. But when Jam meets Pet\, a creature made of horns and colors and claws\, who emerges from one of her mother’s paintings and a drop of Jam’s blood\, she must reconsider what she’s been told. Pet has come to hunt a monster–and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption’s house. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend\, but also uncover the truth\, and the answer to the question How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?“ \nThe Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds of all ages\, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.
