The volume publishes papers read at the ninth International
Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books, Budapest, 2012. The title
of the conference and the issuing volume covers an, on the one
hand, extremely important and, on the other hand, regrettably
neglected aspect particularly of the ancient Jewish and Christian
traditions. Traditional manifestations of both Judaism and
Christianity are predominantly masculine theological constructions.
Despite their harsh masculine orientation, however, neither Judaism
nor Christianity lacks elaboration on the female principle. When an
ancient author chooses female imagery in order to make his message
more emphatic, the female body as such forms an integral part of
their metaphors. The contributions in this volume explore this
phenomenon within the literature of early Judaism, and within its
broad environments.
