Markus McDowell examines how the literature of the Second Temple
period portrays women at prayer through an examination of the
literary context and character of those prayers. The goal of this
work is a greater understanding of how women were portrayed in
literary sources and an offering of some fresh insights for the
study of women's religious and social roles in the ancient world.
The texts are analyzed and categorized within five areas: social
location, content, form, occasion, and gender perspective. The
prayers are also compared and contrasted with men's prayers in the
same sources. The analysis includes locating (as much as possible)
the historical, literary, and cultic context of each document in
which these prayers appear. By examining all prayers in these texts
uttered by women (not just prayers of named or prominent women),
and then comparing them with all the prayers of men in those same
texts, certain patterns appear. This study adds to our knowledge of
women and religion in Second Temple Judaism by primarily exploring
patterns that appear among the prayers in the literature of the
Second Temple period. While there are fewer prayers by women than
men in this literature, the prayers of women are not portrayed as
significantly different from those of men in terms of social
location, content, form, or occasion. At the same time, the prayers
of women exhibit other patterns of language - and in a minor way,
form and occasion - that differ from the prayers of men.
