Though the Hebrew Bible often reflects and constructs a world that
privileges men, many of its narratives play extensively with the
gender norms of the society in which they were written. Drawing
from feminist, masculinity and queer studies, Gender-Play in the
Hebrew Bible uses close literary analysis to argue that the writers
of the Bible intentionally challenge gender norms in order to
reveal the dangers of destabilizing societal and theological
hierarchies that privilege men and masculinity. This book presents
a fascinating argument about the construction and import of gender
in the biblical narratives, and will be of great interest to
academics in the fields of religion, theology, and Biblical studies
as well as gender studies.
