Notions of women as found in the Bible have had an incalculable
impact on western cultures, influencing perspectives on marriage,
kinship, legal practice, political status, and general attitudes.
Women and Exilic Identity in the Hebrew Bible is drawn from three
separate strands to address and analyse this phenomenon. The first
examines how women were conceptualized and represented during the
exilic period. The second focuses on methodological possibilities
and drawbacks connected to investigating women and exile. The third
reviews current prominent literature on the topic, with responses
from authors. With chapters from a range of contributors, topics
move from an analysis of Ruth as a woman returning to her homeland,
and issues concerning the foreign presence who brings foreign
family members into the midst of a community, and how this is dealt
with, through the intermarriage crisis portrayed in Ezra 9-10, to
an analysis of Judean constructions of gender in the exilic and
early post-exilic periods. The contributions show an exciting range
of the best scholarship on women and foreign identities, with
important consequences for how the foreign/known is perceived, and
what that has meant for women through the centuries.
