Eve Isn't Evil

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Eve Isn’t Evil is on a mission. It lays out a powerful and persuasive case by inviting the reader to discover the gifts of feminism—‘self-respect, opportunity, and joy’—reading the Old Testament as a very human book. Julie Faith Parker’s uniquely heart-aching, whimsical, and profound reflections and retellings of the biblical texts warmly and irrefutably show by example how Scripture is not antiquated, intimidating, or inaccessible. Her anecdotes from the classroom, pulpit, prison, and some very unexpected places bear witness to the deepest human feelings when the Scripture is read with a feminist mindset of liberty and justice for all.”

Jonah

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Claassens’s contextual reading of Jonah as a symbolic trauma narrative provides a provocative and compassionate understanding of the wounded prophet, his traumatized community, and biblical readers who wrestle with divine truth, justice, mercy, and forgiveness. A timely interpretive tool of trauma hermeneutics applied to Jonah offers an intelligent and gracious interlocutor in the place of our own struggles today.”
