Magazine The history of women interpreters of the Bible is a
neglected area of study. Marion Taylor presents a one-volume
reference tool that introduces readers to a wide array of women
interpreters of the Bible from the entire history of Christianity.
Her research has implications for understanding biblical
interpretation--especially the history of interpretation--and
influencing contemporary study of women and the Bible.
Contributions by 130 top scholars introduce foremothers of the
faith who address issues of interpretation that continue to be
relevant to faith communities today, such as women's roles in the
church and synagogue and the idea of religious feminism. Women's
interpretations also raise awareness about differences in the ways
women and men may read the Scriptures in light of differences in
their life experiences. This handbook will prove useful to
ministers as well as to students of the Bible, who will be
inspired, provoked, and challenged by the women introduced here.
The volume will also provide a foundation for further detailed
research and analysis. Interpreters include Elizabeth Rice
Achtemeier, Saint Birgitta of Sweden, Catherine Mumford Booth, Anne
Bradstreet, Catherine of Siena, Clare of Assisi, Egeria, Elizabeth
I, Hildegard, Julian of Norwich, Therese of Lisieux, Marcella,
Henrietta C. Mears, Florence Nightingale, Phoebe Palmer, Faltonia
Betitia Proba, Pandita Ramabai, Christina Georgina Rossetti,
Dorothy Leigh Sayers, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Beecher
Stowe, St. Teresa of Avila, Sojourner Truth, and Susanna Wesley.

ARRIVING IN AMERICA - DESTINATION THE SOUTH captures Taylor's
twenty-five year journey in unearthing the buried history of her
maternal and paternal family, trekking the paths of her ancestors,
before Emancipation (1863). This journey took her back several
generations, from the North, South, East and West regions of
Africa, to the thirteen colonies of the United States, and the
Southern states of Louisiana and Mississippi. This emotion-filled
journey travels down an intricate paper trail of federal, state,
and local records combined with a collection of oral interviews
that enabled Taylor to methodically place together her family
puzzle, in five informative chapters. Lovers of sweeping
generational epics will find much to rejoice in here. This is a
personal saga, but one played out against the broad canvas of
American History. Taylor chronicles the lives of her relatives who
were once enslaved. She points out the contributions of European
immigrants, with the labor of slaves that made this such a great
nation. Taylor discusses intermarriages and intermixing between
blacks and Indians, the mulatto children of the master, and how her
enslaved family may have obtained their surnames. This book focuses
on many unanswered questions, and leave the reader with a burning
desire to begin their own journey. ARRIVING IN AMERICA -
DESTINATION THE SOUTH is written in a narrative style to inspire,
entice and propel readers into the fascinating world of genealogy
and historical discoveries.

by beautiful monarch butterflies that gracefully soar around the

have wings to fly It is not long before Mari grows large and gets

begins flying from flower to flower. Soon, it is time for her to
catch a current and embark on a magnificent migration that will
take her more than two thousand miles over New York City to the
hills of West Virginia and finally to a mountain in Mexico where
the circle of life begins once again. Written in both Spanish and
English, Mari's Miracle tells the delightful, educational, and
touching tale of a migrating monarch butterfly's adventures,
seeking to encourage learning and good stewardship of our planet.
In her novel At The Breakers, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall presents Jo
Sinclair, a longtime single mother of four children. Fleeing an
abusive relationship after a shocking attack, Jo finds herself in
Sea Cove, New Jersey, in front of The Breakers, a salty old hotel
in the process of renovation. Impulsively, she negotiates a job
painting the guest rooms and settles in with her youngest child,
thirteen-year-old Nick. As each room is transformed under brush and
roller, Jo finds a way to renovate herself, reclaiming a promising
life derailed by pregnancy and a forced marriage at age fourteen.
At The Breakers is a deeply felt and beautifully written novel
about forgiveness and reconciliation. In Jo's words, she is "trying
to find the right way to live" as a long-suffering woman who is put
through the fire and emerges with a chance at a full, rich life for
herself and her children, if only she has the faith to take it.

Seemingly the most fantastical of television series, ""Buffy the
Vampire Slayer"" proves on close examination to be firmly rooted in
real-world concerns. In this collection of critical essays, fifteen
authors from several disciplines, including literature, the visual
arts, theatre, philosophy, and political science, study ways in
which Buffy reflects, illuminates, and clarifies its audience's
real-life experiences.The topics include the series' complicated
portrayals of the relationship between soul, morality, and
identity; whether Buffy can truly be described as a feminist icon;
the ways in which Buffy attempted, somewhat unsuccessfully, to
undermine stereotypes of Native Americans in Western culture with
the season four episode ""Pangs""; the role of signs in the
interaction between Buffy's aesthetics and audience; and the
problem of power and underhanded politics in the Buffy universe,
where characters frequently manipulate others for self-serving
reasons or give in altogether to the dark pleasures of raw power.
While studies of literature may include traditionally marginalized
works, theories of literary form remain grounded in writings that
affirm the status quo. Carole Anne Taylor now reconceives the
theories of tragedy and comedy, drawing on African American
literature to show how the two are often interrelated.
Through readings of works by such writers as Toni Morrison,
Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Toni Cade Bambara, and South
African-born Bessie Head, Taylor argues for ways in which genre
theory and modern and postmodern literature can be brought
together. She demonstrates how these writers interrogate relations
of power from vantage points that theorize both intracultural and
intercultural difference, and how they question the notion of a
literature too much at ease with such opposites as oral and
written, self and other, and tragedy and comedy. By then
reconsidering works by William Faulkner, Gertrude Stein, and Zora
Neale Hurston, Taylor further shows how theories generated "at the
margins" can enrich, complicate, and even embrace the literary
canon.
Taylor rethinks such traditional critical terms as "catharsis"
in productive ways that illuminate both marginalized and canonical
literature. She also provides a model for what "resistant
criticism" can contribute to a transformation of traditional theory
-- a transformation necessary if theories of genre are to cease
excluding African American works from their definition of what
literature is and does.
