Egalitarian Nature of Village Life

This week we continue to explore the Roundtable Talk titled Women in the Ancient Near East and Israel with Dr. Gruber (IBC) and Dr. Beth Alpert Nakhai. Ancient women were not stuck in the home. They had a normative life in the village contributing to their society. In this episode, Dr. Nakhai discusses how life changed as we move from Canannite to Israelite time periods. We also dip into household religion. Who, how, and what did Israelites worship when they were in their homes?
Dr. Nakhai is the Associate Professor at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies. She is an archaeologist and Biblical scholar, She has written extensively about ancient religion and culture, especially the lives of women in ancient Israel and the Near East. This week we talk about what has changed in archaeological studies that helps us understand the Bible in new ways.
