The present volume contains a foreword and a collection of fourteen
essays applying latest and neglected methods and offering new and
innovative insight to the interpretation of the New Testament Book
of Hebrews. The contributions are arranged in three parts.
Ancient literature was generally written by and produced for elite
men. That fact creates specific challenges to modern interpreters
of gender roles in the ancient world, especially once contemporary
understandings of gender as construction and performance are
embraced. In Gender and Second-Temple Judaism, world-renowned
scholars take on these challenges with regard to ancient Judaism
(here including early Christianity and early rabbinic Judaism as
well), at once examining the ancient evidence and quite consciously
addressing difficult methodological questions regarding gender.
Taken together, these chapters further complicate discussions of
the construction of identity (e.g., "who is a Jew?") by inflecting
them with questions of gender construction as well. Scholars of
ancient Judaism and of gender alike will find much to grapple with
in these pages.
