This is the third volume (of a four-volume set) of readings of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament from the perspective of Liberation Theology and feminist criticism. In it Dempsey provides both overviews and discussions of specific passages. Her approach allows her to provide critique and to plumb the depths of the texts' potential for liberation.
