In the hundred years since
The Women's Bible, giant strides
have been made in feminist interpretation of the Bible. Now comes the
first comprehensive overview of the whole field. The authors
systematically
recount those efforts to describe the story of women in both
testaments, to uncover tendencies not supportive of women, and to
describe biblical traditions that empower women. The book unfolds in
three parts:
- Historical, Hermeneutical, and
Methodological Foundations
- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction
of the History of Israel
- Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of
Early Christianity
