Wimberly School of Religion alums Kloe Young (Religious Education β22) and Allie McMurry (Religion Philosophy β22) recently co-published articles on the Society of Biblical Literatureβs BibleOdyssey.org website with their professor, Dr. Lisa Wolfe.
The pieces highlight two lesser-known biblical women: ββ (2 Sam 21:1-14), by Young and Wolfe, and the ββ (1 Sam 28:3-35), by McMurry and Wolfe.
These contributions were invited as part of the websiteβs Undergraduate-Faculty Writing Initiative, which gives undergraduates the opportunity to publish peer-reviewed, paid work in collaboration with a professor.
Wolfe previously published a piece with Bible Odyssey, β,β which led to participation in this project.
McMurry and Young had both taken three semesters of Biblical Hebrew with Wolfe and were in their final year at ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½, making them ideal candidates for the project. The three began researching, writing and editing the pieces during spring semester of 2022 and continued their work into the summer.
Since their graduation from ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½, Young is serving as an ImpactOK2 intern at McFarlin UMC in Norman, OK, and Allie McMurry just began the Master of Arts program at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Wolfe has been professor of Hebrew Bible at the Wimberly School of Religion since 2007.
