Finding A Woman's Place

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"In a series of well-crafted essays that are provocative, captivating, challenging, and ground-breaking, this book addresses themes that long have fruitfully occupied the research agenda of Carolyn Osiek, R.S.C.J. In a diversified but coherent set of chapters, Roman visualization of feminine values, translation as performance, Matthew's God presiding over a cosmic household and the imperial depiction of the emperor as Father presiding over a nation, a man's place in the construction of gender, vengeance-seeking biblical widows, symposiac humor, early-church women, and early-church families, are effectively addressed. This marvelous collection deserves to be broadly read and frequently cited.”
