Feminist Companion to the Latter Prophets Paperback / softback
Edited by Athalya (University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands) Brenner-Idan
Part of the Feminist Companion to the Bible series
Paperback / softback
Description
The authoritative status of 'Prophecy' in the Bible poses a challenge to the feminist readers.
This challenge is sharpened by the widespread symbolism in prophetic discourse of woman, wife, mother, harlot and the use of what the volume call 'pornoprophetics'.
In this collection it is the book of Hosea that attracts special attention, but there are also articles on sexual violence and an introductory essay on prophecy itself as a literary phenomenon.
This Feminist Companion offers a sharp confrontation between the voice of the prophetic male and the resistance of the feminist reader.
