This book is about both the fear of gender reversal and its
expression in the prophet Ezekiel's reworking of the marital
metaphor. Kamionkowski argues that the abomination of "wife
Jerusalem" is that she is attempting to pass for a male, thereby
crossing gender boundaries and upsetting the world order. This
story is therefore one of confused gender scripts, ensuing chaos
and a re-ordering through the reinforcement of these strictly
defined prescriptions of gendered behaviour.
Using socio-historical evidence and the existence of the
literary motif of "men turning into women" as a framework, this
book argues that Ezekiel 16, in particular, reflects the gender
chaos which arises as an aftermath of social and theological
crises.
