The Bible as Political Artifact

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this collection of essays, Dr. Scholz makes a case for reshaping biblical studies as a politically responsible, feminist field of research, in which scholarly erudition provides a rationale for a global struggle for justice. Written and partly published over the last two decades, these wide-ranging essays argue for a shift from dominant methodologies and pedagogic conventions to a contemporary, self aware, and engaged field of research focused on intersectional categories of oppression including gender, race, class, colonialism, and heterosexism. There are very few such feminist assessments of the field of biblical studies, and this book should therefore be welcomed by any serious scholar in religious studies.”

Theology

“These questions are of central concern to anyone interested in women in religion, both monotheistic and nonmonotheistic.”
