"The Women's Bible Commentary" is a trusted, classic resource for
biblical scholarship, written by some of the best feminist scholars
in the field today. This twentieth anniversary edition features
brand new or thoroughly revised essays to reflect newer thinking in
feminist interpretation and hermeneutics. It comprises commentaries
on every book of the Bible, including the apocryphal books; essays
on the reception history of women in the Bible; and essays on
feminist critical method. The contributors raise important
questions and explore the implications of how women and other
marginalized people are portrayed in biblical texts, looking
specifically at gender roles, sexuality, political power, and
family life, while challenging long-held assumptions. This
commentary brings modern critical methods to bear on the history,
sociology, anthropology, and literature of the relevant time
periods to illuminate the context of these biblical portrayals and
challenges readers to new understandings.
