Since its origins in the women's liberation movement, feminist
exegesis has been subject not only to the demand to identify the
oppressive functions of biblical texts but also to contribute to
the liberation of women. What biblical texts can serve this process
of liberation-for which women, under what conditions, and in what
manner? What roles do categories such as woman, gender, liberation,
freedom, Holy Scripture, church, and theology play? This book
originated from a symposium with feminist biblical experts from
over twenty countries from five continents. It provides a striking
and imaginative depiction of the questions central to feminist
exegesis and the hermeneutics of liberation. It also provides a
lively example of the kind of global discussion of the Bible and
liberation that can take place among women from around the world.
Typical of this discussion is the confrontation with questions such
as contextuality or the diversity of feminist biblical
interpretation (whether of theological or non-theological nature),
and clear positions are taken with regard to issues such as the
termination of anti-Judaism in feminist biblical interpretation or
the dangers of neo-colonial domination in feminist-theological
studies.
