The Grace Irwin Prize (2013) 2012 Book of the Year Award, Foreword
Magazine The history of women interpreters of the Bible is a
neglected area of study. Marion Taylor presents a one-volume
reference tool that introduces readers to a wide array of women
interpreters of the Bible from the entire history of Christianity.
Her research has implications for understanding biblical
interpretation--especially the history of interpretation--and
influencing contemporary study of women and the Bible.
Contributions by 130 top scholars introduce foremothers of the
faith who address issues of interpretation that continue to be
relevant to faith communities today, such as women's roles in the
church and synagogue and the idea of religious feminism. Women's
interpretations also raise awareness about differences in the ways
women and men may read the Scriptures in light of differences in
their life experiences. This handbook will prove useful to
ministers as well as to students of the Bible, who will be
inspired, provoked, and challenged by the women introduced here.
The volume will also provide a foundation for further detailed
research and analysis. Interpreters include Elizabeth Rice
Achtemeier, Saint Birgitta of Sweden, Catherine Mumford Booth, Anne
Bradstreet, Catherine of Siena, Clare of Assisi, Egeria, Elizabeth
I, Hildegard, Julian of Norwich, Therese of Lisieux, Marcella,
Henrietta C. Mears, Florence Nightingale, Phoebe Palmer, Faltonia
Betitia Proba, Pandita Ramabai, Christina Georgina Rossetti,
Dorothy Leigh Sayers, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Beecher
Stowe, St. Teresa of Avila, Sojourner Truth, and Susanna Wesley.
