Reviews

The business of recovering women interpreters of biblical texts is still in its early stages of research, and the field owes a deep debt of gratitude to these intrepid investigators and their collaborators who have contributed to Breaking Boundaries... The editors appear to have asked writers to be particularly careful to establish the intellectual and socio-cultural context of each of the women considered, and in the best of the articles this contextualization lends a fascinating light on the hermeneutical issues involved in the particular interpreter's work. -- Carol A. Newsom, Emory University * Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception Vol 3 No 1 (2013) *
