Theme: Translating the Letter of Scripture into Life
(Elizabeth Rundle Charles: 1828-1896)
Dr Marion Taylor on Elizabeth Rundle Charles:
"English author of almost 50 volumes, Elizabeth Rundle Charles was very famous and influential in her own day but was soon forgotten. She is now one of my favourite biblical interpreters. In her commentaries, devotional writings, travel journal, poetry, and hymns she invites us to encounter Jesus, 'a friend who knows [our] heart’s most secret depths, yet loves [us] without end.' Rundle Charles also teaches us how to translate the letter of Scriptures into life.
Please join us to learn about this amazing forgotten foremother who can help us deepen our love for Jesus and become better readers of Scripture."
In addition to Dr Taylor's presentation and lively breakout group discussion, you will meet women currently studying at Wycliffe and hear more about their personal stories of calling as well as their journey of spiritual formation.
Tickets are $15 for the in-person event, and online tickets are free. The deadline to register is October 24th, 2024.
Consider donating to support bursaries for women studying at Wycliffe College! Tax receipts will be issued.

Marion’s interests in the Old Testament are broad. She teaches a variety of courses, including Introduction to the Old Testament, Jeremiah, Psalms, Old Testament Theology, Reading Scripture through the Ages, Bad Boys and Bad Girls in the Bible, the Books of Esther and Ruth, and Women Interpreters of the Bible. Most recently she has focused on forgotten women interpreters of the Bible.
Marion began her search for forgotten women interpreters of the Bible when a student asked if she could write a paper on a woman interpreter from the 19th century. This question has taken Marion on the greatest adventure of her life, as she and a team of students and scholars have unearthed the names and writings of hundreds of women throughout history. She’s published several books recovering the voices of women interpreters, including her most recent book that she co-authored with Joy Schroeder, Voices Long Silenced: Women Biblical Interpreters through the Centuries, which features more than 400 women biblical interpreters, which was recently published by Westminster John Knox.
Marion is currently working on a book on Paul through the eyes of women from the sixteenth to the long nineteenth century.
