The Hebrew Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This timely volume is doubly important. First, it has a thoughtful editor’s introduction to feminist Hebrew Bible criticism in the last few decades. Second is its promotion of and influence on the discussion of race, gender, class, ethics, and politics in the wider sense in recent Bible scholarship. Survey essays of the Torah, the Histories, the Prophets, and the Writings demonstrate how such intersectional analyses can be done. This book is a must entry-level volume for anyone interested in the subject, and everybody interested in contemporary biblical studies should be.”
