In this guest-edited issue of Biblical Reception, edited by Diane
Apostolos-Cappadona, contributors examine the reception of the
bible in art. Most of the contributions focus on biblical women, or
on encounters with women in the bible. The volume is roughly
chronological in structure, beginning with two pieces on Eve, one
of which compares representations of Eve with those of the Virgin
Mary, the other which considers how Eve is presented in Islamic
texts and images. Following a contribution on Esther and Sarah the
volume moves on to consider New Testament texts, with notable focus
on women at the peripheries of society (the woman with the
hemorrhage in Mark's gospel and the woman of Samaria). Attention is
also paid to representations of Mary Magdalene and of Judith and
Salome. The volume concludes with a piece on apocalyptic imagery
and the woman clothed with the sun of Revelation 12. Featuring over
50 high quality color images, this volume provides scholarship of
the highest level on biblical art.
