Biography
Levine completed her undergraduate work at Smith College, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and held honors in both Religion and English.[1] She got her doctorate from Duke University.[1]
She has held office in the Society of Biblical Literature, the Catholic Biblical Association, and the Association for Jewish Studies.
Her most recent publications include The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus (HarperSanFrancisco, 2006), the edited collection, The Historical Jesus in Context (Princeton University Press, 2006) and the fourteen-volume Feminist Companions to the New Testament and Early Christian Writings (Continuum).
A self-described "Yankee Jewish feminist who teaches in a predominantly Protestant divinity school in the buckle of the Bible Belt," Levine "combines historical-critical rigor, literary-critical sensitivity, and a frequent dash of humor with a commitment to eliminating antisemitic, sexist, and homophobic theologies."[2] She is a member of an Orthodox Jewish synagogue.[3]
Levine has produced lectures on the Old Testament and "Great Figures of the New Testament" for The Teaching Company. [4]
