Religious Studies prof. releases new book

By Cavalier Daily Staff | September 15, 2004

In her newly released book, "Sarah Laughed," Religious Studies Prof. Vanessa Ochs puts a new spin on age-old stories. Ochs retells the story of women in the Old Testament through a writing style called midrash, or interpretive storytelling. Through "Sarah Laughed," Ochs said she hopes to establish a common ground between the challenges confronting women today and those facing women from ancient times. "Usually stories of women in the Bible don't propel me forward or give me strength," she said. Ochs said she wrote "Sarah Laughed" to inspire contemporary women and to "see if it was possible to find wisdom for contemporary readers in the lives of Biblical women." --Compiled by Matt Cunningham

Currently, an accused student can avoid a trial by opting to go before a hearing panel.
