This book features an examination of eight women's stories in the
Bible, demonstrating how later readers interact with the stories to
construct sometimes fanciful, sometimes faulty views of these
women. Stories of women in the Bible have been interpreted by
artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and biblical commentators
for centuries. However, in many cases, these later interpreters
have often adapted and altered the Bible to fit their own view(s)
of the stories. Ironically, these later renderings usually serve as
the basis for the generally accepted view(s) of biblical women. For
example, many readers of the Bible assume that Eve is to blame for
the disobedient act in the Garden of Eden, or that Delilah seduced
Samson and then cut his hair. A closer look at these assumptions,
though, reveals that they are not based on the Bible, but are
mediated through the creations of later interpreters. In this book,
the author examines eight such women's stories, and shows how later
readers interact with the biblical stories to construct sometimes
fanciful, sometimes faulty views of these women. Dan Clanton, Jr.
broadens our awareness of the influence of these later readings on
how we understand biblical women so that we can be more critical in
our engagement with them, and become more familiar with what the
Bible actually says about the women whose stories it contains.
