A Feminist Companion to Reading the Bible: Approaches, Methods and Strategies

This valuable resource both presents and demonstrates the numerous developments in feminist criticsm of the Bible and the enormous rage of influence that feminist criticism has come to have in biblical studies.

The purpose of the book is to raise issues of method that are largely glossed over or merely implied n most non-feminist works on the Bible. The editors hve inclded broadly theoretical essays on feminist methods and the various roels they may play in research and pedagogy, as well as non-feminist essays that hae direct bearing on the methods or subject matter that feminists use, as well as reading that illustrate the variety of methodological strategies adopted by feminist scholars.

Some 30 scholars, from North America and Europe, have contributed to this Companion.
