Feminist Biblical Interpretation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“There is no compendium like this: it contains no repetition of things already said a hundred times but, rather, to-the-point coherent feminist readings of biblical books, with clear emphases on issues relevant to feminist research and excellent bibliographic references to feminist output. This compendium is a 'must have can't work without' book for scholars as well as all those interested in the Bible and feminism.”

The Absence of God in Biblical Rape Narratives

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Why on earth is God absent when women are raped? And what exactly does it mean when in the Bible women are raped? And how to connect rape with the experience of total crisis in the covenantal relationship between God and people? Leah Rediger Schulte sets out to answer these three pivotal questions. And she does so by not only studying the Hebrew Bible, but also connecting it with what seems to be a license to grab women by their genitals. Brilliantly written and to the point! We want more books by Leah Rediger Schulte!!!”

The Bible as Political Artifact

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"Brilliant, just brilliant. This book is a must read for presidents of universities, for provosts and deans of schools of humanities, and also for theologians and biblical scholars. Filled with mind blowing information, passionately written, aiming at turning biblical studies in its post modern and post colonial version into the cornerstone of the new politics of hermeneutical and cultural alternatives. And all of this infused with a huge dosis of humour. Sit down, read the book, enjoy the ride.””
