Women have been thoughtful readers and interpreters of scripture
throughout the ages, yet the standard history of biblical
interpretation includes few women's voices. To introduce readers to
this untapped source for the history of biblical interpretation,
this volume analyzes forgotten works from the nineteenth century
written by women-including Christina Rossetti, Florence
Nightingale, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, among others-from various
faith backgrounds, countries, and social classes engaging
contemporary biblical scholarship. Due to their exclusion from the
academy, women's interpretive writings addressed primarily a
nonscholarly audience and were written in a variety of genres:
novels and poetry, catechisms, manuals for Bible study, and
commentaries on the books of the Bible. To recover these
nineteenth-century women interpreters of the Bible, each essay in
this volume locates a female author in her historical,
ecclesiastical, and interpretive context, focusing on particular
biblical passages to clarify an author's contributions as well as
to explore how her reading of the text was shaped by her experience
as a woman. The contributors are Amanda Benckhuysen, Elizabeth
Davis, Christiana de Groot, Rebecca G. S. Idestrom, Donna Kerfoot,
Bernon P. Lee, Marion Taylor, Heather Weir, and Lissa M. Wray Beal.
Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical
Literature (www.sbl-site.org)
