Studies in Bible and Feminist Criticism Hardback
by Tikva Frymer-Kensky
Part of the A JPS Scholar of Distinction Book series
Hardback
Description
A JPS Scholar of Distinction title The best writings of the long and distinguished career of renowned feminist Bible scholar Tikva Frymer-Kensky.
Each of the thirty essays here delves into a topic that gives us much food for thought: the Bible as interpreted through ancient Near-Eastern creation myths, flood myths, and goddess myths; gender in the Bible; the feminist approach to Jewish law; comparative Jewish and Christian perspectives on the Hebrew Bible; biblical perspectives on ecology; creating a theology of healing; feminine God-talk.
The volume concludes with the author’s own original prayers in the form of poetic meditations on pregnancy and birthing.
This book is unique, not only because it is the only volume in the JPS Scholar of Distinction series written by a woman, but also because Frymer-Kensky’s personal and forthright voice resonates so clearly throughout each piece.
Scholars and students of Bible, Jewish studies, and women’s studies will surely find this to be a one-of-a kind collection.
