Phyllis Trible

In 1998, she donated her papers to The Burke Library's Archives of Women in Theological Scholarship, and continues to add more papers subsequently; the papers formed the foundation of the collection. In recent years, Trible has served as a Visiting Professor of Old Testament at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. She taught a class in the fall of 2018 called Entrances to Exodus.

Trible served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature in 1994. Athalya Brenner calls her one of the "prominent matriarchs of contemporary feminist bible criticism", and suggests that her 1973 article "Depatriarchalizing in Biblical Interpretation", "should be considered as the honoured mother of feminist Song of Songs scholarship." According to John J. Collins, "Phyllis Trible, more than any other scholar, put feminist criticism on the agenda of biblical scholarship in the 1970s."

Trible taught at Wake Forest University and Andover Newton Theological School before going back to Union Seminary, where she was appointed the Baldwin Professor of Sacred Literature in 1980. She left Union in 1998 to become Associate Dean and Professor of Biblical Studies of the new Wake Forest University School of Divinity in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She served in those roles until 2001, when she was appointed University Professor at Wake Forest, and served in that role until she retired in 2012.
