Women’s Studies as an academic discipline was created to educate women and society in general of feminist thought and women’s rights during the mid-twentieth century. Women’s Studies at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) is a thoughtful Christian response to the history and development of feminist philosophy in the academy and popular culture.
It is an opportunity to study the philosophies at play in culture regarding gender and sexuality as understood through the biblical narrative, resulting in compassionate and intelligent ministry in postmodern culture.
