"Women in the Hebrew Bible" presents the first one-volume overview
covering the interpretation of women's place in man's world within
the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. Written by the major scholars in
the field of biblical studies and literary theory, these essays
examine attitudes toward women and their status in ancient Near
Eastern societies, focusing on the Israelite society portrayed by
the Hebrew Bible.
Feminist analysis of the Bible offers clues for the beginnings of
gender bias in Western culture. Metaphors and literary persona from
those ancient writings permeate Western literature and haunt our
collective unconscious. The essays range from feminist strategies
for understanding the social world at the time of the production of
the Hebrew Bible to interpretations of key female literary figures
such as Ruth, Esther, Judith, Sarah, Rachel and Leah, the unnamed
daughter of Jephthah, and the unnamed Levite's concubine in the
book of Judges.
A case history of five essays presents different perspectives and
interpretations of one passage, Numbers 5: 16 - 31, the so-called
"Sotah text." These articles show how critical interpretive
perspectives are to reading and understanding a biblical text.
"Women in the Hebrew Bible" offers a stellar selection of the most
important writings about the social, cultural and gender codes
reflected in Biblical texts.
