The first volume of Searching the Scriptures appeared 25 years ago. It was dedicated to Anna Julia Cooper, whereas the 2nd volume memorialized the Woman’s Bible, edited by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The panel will explore how Searching the Scriptures sought to correct the ambivalent legacy of the Woman’s Bible with the feminist Vision of Anna Julia Cooper and discuss how we can continue to correct the racist and anti-immigrant heritage of the Woman’s Bible with the feminist vision of Anna Julia Cooper while exploring possible ways of collaboration between feminists/ womanists in Biblical Studies & Studies in Religion
