This volume on intercultural biblical interpretation includes
essays by feminist scholars from Botswana, Germany, New Zealand,
Nigeria, South Africa, and the United States. Reading from a rich
variety of socio-cultural locations, contributors present their
hermeneutical frameworks for interpretation of Hebrew Bible texts,
each framework grounded in the writer's journey of professional or
social formation and serving as a prism or optic for feminist
critical analysis. The volume hosts a lively conversation about the
nature and significance of biblical interpretation in a global
context, focusing on issues at the nexus of operations of power,
textual ambiguity, and intersectionality. Engaged here are notions
of biblical authority and postures of dissent; women's agency,
discernment, rivalry, and alliance in ancient and contemporary
contexts; ideological constructions of sexuality and power;
interpretations related to indigeneity, racial identity,
interethnic intimacy, and violence in colonial contexts; theologies
of the feminine divine and feminist understandings of the sacred;
convictions about interdependence and conditions of flourishing for
all beings in creation; and ethics of resistance positioned over
against dehumanization in political, theological, and hermeneutical
praxes. Through their textual and contextual engagements,
contributors articulate a broad spectrum of feminist insights into
the possibilities for emancipatory visions of community.
