Many major laws and iconic narratives have their origins in the Bible. Alongside these treasures of Western civilization, we find dark and disturbing stories of stealth and seduction, often involving even the most venerated Biblical heroes.

Why were these stories written? Why were they included in the Bible? How are we meant to understand them?

Spicing with Midrash, we will examine several well-known and also more obscure Biblical stories of stealth and seduction, among them, Judah & Tamar, Ruth & Boaz, Lot and his daughters, Amnon & Tamar, David & Bat-Sheva.
