From the Wisdom Commentary series . This volume offers a womanist
and feminist analysis of the books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and
Zephaniah, attending to translation and textual issues, use of
power and agency, and constructions of gender and its significance
for the real and metaphorical women in the texts. The unit on Nahum
takes an unflinching look at God's role and rhetoric in the rape of
Nineveh and considers implications for the women of Nineveh and
Israel and for contemporary readers. Habakkuk is read employing a
womanist stratagem, talking back to God. The section on Zephaniah
explores the racialized history of interpreting "Cushi" in
Zephaniah's genealogy and the figures of Daughter Zion/Jerusalem.
The commentary also assesses these texts as scriptures of synagogue
and church, their use and utility. A Jewish feminist reading and
womanist hermeneutic accompanies each biblical book.?
