Overview

Combining feminist reading strategies with sustained methodological enquiry, this volume presents an exploration by feminist biblical scholars of how aspects of social location such as gender, ethnicity, class and religious background affect biblical interpretation. Writing in a range of modes, including historical and literary criticism, cultural studies, satirical fiction and the personal essay, the contributors challenge the presumed objectivity of conventional biblical scholarship.
