This commentary collects the work of women scholars, who introduce each book of the Bible with an extended discussion of general critical issues of the book and a narrative summary of its content. They follow with a commentary on those sections that have particular relevance to women.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'This welcome and daring book has much to teach us that we cannot safely ignore . . . A landmark in interpretation.' --Walter Brueggeman, Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary

'The past two decades have seen the growth of feminist biblical studies into a significant force within biblical scholarship. This landmark work brings the fruits of these labours together into a single fascinating collection. This commentary will raise eyebrows, and it will raise consciousness as well. It will not be well received in all quarters, but it is essential for those who are seriously interested in biblical and feminist studies.' --Library Journal

'A commentary of this kind is to be welcomed. It rightly disturbs, forcing the reader to look at the familiar through a different filter.' --Paul Beasley-Murray, Baptist Times

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Womens Bible Commentary gathers the best feminist scholars in the field today to produce a commentary on every book of the Bible, including the apocryphal books, with additional articles on the reception history of biblical women, feminist critical method, and womens religious life in ancient Israel and the early Church. The commentary explores the ways in which women and other marginalized people are portrayed in the Bible, and raises questions about gender roles, sexuality, political power, and family life, while challenging long-held assumptions about how biblical texts should be read and appropriated for today.
