In the hundred years since The Women's Bible, giant strides have
been made in feminist interpretation of the Bible. Now comes the
first comprehensive overview of the whole field. The authors
systematically recount those efforts to describe the story of women
in both testaments, to uncover tendencies not supportive of women,
and to describe biblical traditions that empower women. The book
unfolds in three parts: Historical, Hermeneutical, and
Methodological Foundations Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of the
History of Israel Toward a Feminist Reconstruction of Early
Christianity
"Lydia's Impatient Sisters" offers a social history of the
everyday life of women, setting common experiences of labor, money,
illness, and resistance in the context of the Roman imperial
society.Luise Schottroff relates this history to important
theological topics in New Testament, such as the revelation of God
and the daily life of the church. Schottroff's work demonstrates
how women were embedded in their social world.
This important collection draws together fascinating recent studies
of aspects of the New Testament of special interest to women by
Louise Schottroff, a leading European scholar. These essays,
translated for the first time, will deepen feminist scholarship in
the English-speaking world. There are insightful depictions of the
Virgin Mary, "the woman who loved much," Mary Magdalene, and the
women at Jesus' grave. Schottoff also studies Paul and women in the
first Christian communities of the Roman empire. Such fresh
interpretations will be valuable to students at all levels as well
as to scholars and interested lay readers. The Gender and the
Biblical Tradition series brings to a wide audience important new
discoveries concerning women and the Bible, ancient Israel, and
early Christianity. The books explore the role of sexuality within
the biblical tradition and document the continuing influence of
biblical treatments of gender on subsequent life and thought.
Translated from the German by Martin Rumscheidt The original German
edition of Feminist Biblical Interpretation received high acclaim
and widespread positive reviews in Europe. That groundbreaking
reference tool for contextual biblical interpretation is here
available in English for the first time. With contributions from
more than sixty female scholars, this is the only one-volume
feminist commentary on the entire Bible, including books that are
relatively uncharted territory for feminist theology.
Bieler and Schottroff bring together the best of contemporary
scholarship on ritual theory and practice, Eucharistic origins, the
Eucharist and eschatology, the Eucharist and world hunger, the
global economy, and the dynamics of torture in a dramatic new
vision of the transformative power of the Eucharist for our world.
It includes reflection questions that lead readers into the issues
raised in each chapter.
A premier New Testament scholar explores how Jesus' trial and
execution are portrayed in the New Testament and how that portrayal
has affected biblical studies, Christian theology, and
Jewish-Christian relations through history. Tomson has written an
accessible, responsible analysis of the biblical accounts of Jesus'
death, demonstrating how, through compounded misunderstandings,
they contributed to anti-Jewish sentiment in the early church and
later history. Tomson's question of how Jesus is to be understood
in his first-century Judean context is a critical one not only for
biblical scholars, but for anyone concerned about human rights and
interreligious dialogue today.
