This book offers a careful study of biblical texts on menstruation
and childbirth in the light of their ancient Near Eastern
background. Close reading of the biblical texts, based on classical
and feminist biblical interpretation, and supported by comparative
study of ancient Near Eastern sources and anthropology, reveals a
rich and varied picture of these female events. Fertility and
impurity are closely connected to menstruation and childbirth, but
their place and importance are different in priestly and
nonpriestly writings of the Bible, which are therefore separately
dealt with. This book contributes to a better understanding of
physiological, social, cultural, and religious aspects of
menstruation and childbirth in the larger context of body and
society and women and men.
