Plotted, Shot, and Painted stakes out new territory for feminist
biblical criticism. It considers what happens to biblical women in
popular culture, in art and in film, and it foregrounds questions
about how gender interests affect interpretation and about the
roles and responsibilities of commentators and readers. This second
revised edition contains an additional chapter, 'Lot and his
Daughters', and an expanded chapter on Delilah. Exum's mastery of
biblical scholarship, film criticism, feminist theory, and a vast
literary and artistic repertoire is overwhelming ... a splendid
work of analysis and critical thinking ... The book introduces the
reader to an extraordinarily rich variety of critical experiences,
which far transcends the limitations of conventional biblical
scholarship. Francis Landy, Prooftexts ... a joy to read-still
learned, but also witty and passionate. Here is a new kind of
biblical criticism. We are talking here of things that really
matter, things that have caused hurt to women and also to men, and
things that could be made better ... It is about cinema, art,
literature, popular song, and pornography. In other words, it
places the Bible exactly where it should be, at the heart of our
cultural experience from 'high' art to 'low' art ... David Jasper,
Biblical Interpretation ... essential for all concerned with
literary, feminist, and cultural readings and representation of
biblical texts. W. Lee Humpheys, Religious Studies Review
