This is particularly true during Holy Week with the lengthy bible readings on Palm Sunday and Good Friday. At this pre-Lent workshop the Rev’d Dr Jeanette Mathews will provide an introduction on approaching Scripture via Biblical Performance Criticism. Participants will have an opportunity to engage with the process of “performing” Scripture and explore the insights gained by participating in this.

Prior to joining St Mark’s she was ordained as a Baptist minister and worked in Baptist churches in Victoria and the ACT. Her research focus is Biblical Performance Criticism (BPC). This approach to Biblical Studies is committed to upholding, transmitting, and improvising the biblical traditions in all their wondrous diversity for new settings in our own times and places. Jeanette’s publications reflect this research interest in application to the biblical prophets (Prophets as Performers, 2020; Performing Habakkuk: Faithful Re-enactment in the Midst of Crisis, 2012) and most recently Reading the Megillot, 2022, which applies BPC to the books of Ruth, Esther, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs (the ‘Megillot’ or festival scrolls of the Old Testament). Jeanette is passionate about educating others in Biblical Studies and her edited God, by Degrees: A Practical Guide for New Theological Students has been published in two editions (Barton Books, 2014, 2019).
