Feminist Biblical Interpretation

Kristin De Troyer - University of St. Andrews "There is no compendium like this: it contains no repetition of things already said a hundred times but, rather, to-the-point coherent feminist readings of biblical books, with clear emphases on issues relevant to feminist research and excellent bibliographic references to feminist output. This compendium is a 'must have can't work without' book for scholars as well as all those interested in the Bible and feminism." John C. Endres, S.J. - Jesuit School of Theology, Santa Clara University and Graduate Theological Union "We owe a tremendous debt to Luise Schottroff and Marie-Theres Wacker for overseeing this compendium of feminist critical study of the Scriptures... The authors approach their texts from a variety of angles, raising questions and issues that seldom make their way into other biblical commentaries; each commentary will delight readers with unexpected surprises. Thanks to the translators and editors for bringing a wonderful collection of contextualized German biblical scholarship to the English-speaking world." Fernando Segovia - Vanderbilt University "The publication in English of this volume is an event to be warmly welcomed... A magnificent achievement."
