A Feminist Companion to Reading the Bible

This book both presents and demonstrates the numerous developments in feminist criticism of the Bible and the enormous range of influence that feminist criticism has come to have in biblical studies. The purpose of the book is to raise the kind of structural and systemic issues of method that are largely glossed over or merely implied in most non-feminist works on the Bible. The editors have included broadly theoretical essays on feminist methods and the various roles they may play in research and pedagogy, as well as non-feminist essays that have direct bearing on the methods or subject matter that feminists use, and a variety of readings that illustrate a variety of methodological strategies adopted by feminist scholars. Some 30 scholars, from North America and Europe, have contributed to this Companion.
