| Description: | This fascinating video examines the story of a woman who took things into her own hands--including the head of a brutal warrior chief. Dr. Lisa Wolfe takes you on a tour of the Book of Judith, posing provocative questions alont the way. Judith, from the Koine greek version of the Hebrew Old testament, reads like a historical novel rife with warfare, lust, espionage, and intrigue. Told in six sessions which take you from a mythological battlefield and a besieged city into the studio and psyche of the Baroque painter Artemesia Gentileschi, Dr. Wolfes' style is a refresing balance of careful scholarship and a genuine love for the story of this amazing woman. Chapters include: The Real King Antiochus Besieged Judith's Plan An Unlikely Hero Piety and Violence The Art of Artemesia Dr. Wolfe earned her Ph.D in Hebrew Bible from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and Northwestern University's joint program in Religious and Theological Studies. Dr. Wolfe is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. She is an Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at Oklahoma City University.
