Hundreds of women studied and interpreted the Bible between the
years 100-2000 CE, but their stories have remained largely untold.
In this book, Schroeder and Taylor introduce readers to the notable
contributions of female commentators through the centuries. They
unearth fascinating accounts of Jewish and Christian women from
diverse communities-rabbinic experts, nuns, mothers, mystics,
preachers, teachers, suffragists, and household managers-who
interpreted Scripture through their writings. This book recounts
the struggles and achievements of women who gained access to
education and biblical texts. It tells the story of how their
interpretive writings were preserved or, all too often, lost. It
also explores how, in many cases, women interpreted Scripture
differently from the men of their times. Consequently, Voices Long
Silenced makes an important, new contribution to biblical reception
history. This book focuses on women's written words and briefly
comments on women's interpretation in media, such as music, visual
arts, and textile arts. It includes short, representative excerpts
from diverse women's own writings that demonstrate noteworthy
engagement with Scripture. Voices Long Silencedcalls on scholars
and religious communities to recognize the contributions of women,
past and present, who interpreted Scripture, preached, taught, and
exercised a wide variety of ministries in churches and synagogues.
