BIBLICAL TEMPTRESSES: SACRED or SCANDALOUS?
The Bible recounts many tales of women seducing men in a variety of ways: getting them drunk, tricking them with disguises, surprising them as they sleep, or just showing up. Often, the outcome is good for Israel, while other times it is not. Through a close reading of biblical text and modern approaches to text study, we will examine four stories of biblical temptation to uncover what determines whether seduction is sacred or scandalous.
