CAROL L.
MEYERS (at Duke since 1977) was educated at Wellesley and at Brandeis,
where she received her Ph.D. (1975) in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies.
She holds the Mary Grace Wilson Professorship in Religion. A specialist
in biblical studies and archaeology, she is a prominent scholar in
the study of women in the biblical world. She has authored or co-authored
eight books and has edited or co-edited five others. In collaboration
with Dr. Eric Meyers, she has written Haggai-Zechariah 1-8 and Zechariah
9-14 for Doubleday's Anchor Bible series. Also with E. Meyers, she
has published two major archaeological reports and is working on two
more. Her book Discovering Eve is a landmark study of women in ancient
Israel; and her recent reference book, Women in Scripture, is the
most comprehensive study ever made of women in Jewish and Christian
scriptures. Dr. Meyers co-directs Duke's summer in Israel program,
and she is an affiliated faculty member of Duke's Women's Studies
Program.
