Combining feminist reading strategies with sustained methodological enquiry, this volume presents an exploration by feminist biblical scholars of how aspects of social location such as gender, ethnicity, class and religious background affect biblical interpretation. Writing in a range of modes, including historical and literary criticism, cultural studies, satirical fiction and the personal essay, the contributors challenge the presumed objectivity of conventional biblical scholarship.

Anyone who loves the look and feel and heft of books will delight in these elegant little volumes." -"New Criterion", "The books line up on my shelf like bright Bodhisattvas ready to take tough questions or keep quiet company.

Regier, "The Chronicle Review" "Very few collections of Sanskrit deep enough for research are housed anywhere in North America. Now, twenty-five hundred years after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, the ambitious Clay Sanskrit Library may remedy this state of affairs." -"Tricycle",
