鈥淪usanna Victrix, Christus Victor: Women as Types of Christ鈥� (January 30, 2024)

The Church Fathers called Susanna the 鈥渧ictorious woman鈥� (victrix) because she defeated the Elders both when they sought to coerce her into sexual obedience and again when she was falsely tried by them (Daniel 13). She was the first biblical woman whom Christians recognized as prefiguring Christ in his Passion. Artworks and texts from the first century through the present will be shown during the lecture, showing the eleven women who have prefigured the Lord, an innovative Christian interpretation based on the fact that Jesus Christ calls everyone, male and female, to holiness.

Dr. Catherine Brown Tkacz is Professor of Theology at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. Her numerous publications on women in the Church, including deaconesses, led to her appointment to the Vatican Commission on Women and the Diaconate. Her most recent book, Women as Types of Christ: An Apostolic Tradition in East and West, is in press.
