In this episode, Caz and Em take a closer look at the infamous figure of Jezebel, queen of Israel and scourge of the prophet Elijah. They explore how Jezebel’s intersecting identities as a powerful female foreign leader shape her representations in the Hebrew Bible and in New Testament texts. They also consider the ways that her reception over the centuries has operated to perpetuate misogynistic and racist stereotypes about women’s sexuality.
