2021 Catholic Media Association Award second place award in academic studies
In this close reading of Psalms 90150, Nancy L. deClaisse-Walford discovers meanings in the Psalms that were ';there all along' but hidden beneath layers of interpretation built up over the centuries. Approaching the canonical storyline of the Psalter with feminist-critical lenses, she reads against the dominant mind-set, refuses to accept the givens, and seeks to uncover a hidden/alternate/parallel set of societal norms. DeClaisse-Walford attends to how context affects the way hearers appropriate the Psalter's words: women, for the most part, hear differently than men; women of privilege differently than women living in poverty.Her interchanges with students and scholars in post-apartheid South Africa bring the biblical text alive in new ways for today's believers.
