Book Synopsis Feminist Companion to the Latter Prophets by : Athalya Brenner-Idan
Download or read book Feminist Companion to the Latter Prophets written by Athalya Brenner-Idan and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-07-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Troubling Jeremiah by : A.R. Pete Diamond
Download or read book Troubling Jeremiah written by A.R. Pete Diamond and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Troubling Jeremiah presents essays by Jeremiah scholars who are troubled by the biblical book and give the scholarship on Jeremiah trouble in turn. Essays seek to move beyond the Duhm-Mowinckel source criticism of the book to address matters of metaphor, final form, intertextuality, and the relationship of the book to various audiences of readers. Taken together, the 24 essays in this volume press for an end to 'innocent' readings of Jeremiah inasmuch as current models prove inadequate for troubling the very Jeremiah they have already helped to reveal.

Book Synopsis Jerusalem as Contested Space in Ezekiel by : Natalie Mylonas
Download or read book Jerusalem as Contested Space in Ezekiel written by Natalie Mylonas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natalie Mylonas uses Ezekiel 16 as a case study in order to reveal the critical relationship between space, emotion, and identity politics in the Hebrew Bible. Drawing on interdisciplinary research that emphasises how space and emotions are inextricably linked in human experience, Mylonas explores the portrayal of Yhwh's wife, Jerusalem, in Ezekiel 16 as a personified city who feels emotion. She foregrounds purity and gender issues, as well as debates on emotions in the Hebrew Bible, emphasising that spatiality is a key component of how these issues are conceptualised in ancient Israel. This book argues that the power struggle between Jerusalem and Yhwh in Ezekiel 16 is a struggle over the contested space of Jerusalem's body and the city space. Jerusalem's emotions are in a dynamic relationship with the spaces in the text – they are signified by these spaces, shift as the constitution of the spaces shifts, and are shaped by Jerusalem's use of space. Her desire, pride, and shamelessness are communicated spatially through her use of city space, while her representation as disgusting is underscored by her “uncontrollable” female body. Mylonas concludes by showing how Ezekiel's vision of the new Jerusalem in Ezekiel 40-48 re-establishes sacred space through the erasure of the feminine city metaphor coupled with strict boundary policing, which is a far cry from the assault on Jerusalem's boundaries described in Ezekiel 16.

Book Synopsis Eve: Accused or Acquitted? by : Joseph Abraham
Download or read book Eve: Accused or Acquitted? written by Joseph Abraham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist interpretation has become one of the important text-centered literary methods in biblical interpretation. It challenges the authority, canonicity, veracity, and normativity of the biblical text due to its patriarchal-androcentric orientation. Feminist readers ask how far the patriarchal texts in the Bible can be authoritative and normative in articulating the theology and practices of the church. The author responds to these important questions both sympathetically and critically and considers whether they might have universal significance. He provides a lucid and thorough examination of the hermeneutical methodologies and presuppositions that lie behind many of the leading proponents of feminist readings of the Old Testament. The author asks whether Eve is unnecessarily accused by the traditional readers or is completely liberated by modern feminist readers.

The emphasis is on Judaism, rather than on Jewish studies more broadly.
Book Synopsis Helpmates, Harlots, and Heroes, Second Edition by : Alice Ogden Bellis
Download or read book Helpmates, Harlots, and Heroes, Second Edition written by Alice Ogden Bellis and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This best-selling book, now revised and updated, shares the work of many feminist biblical scholars who have examined women's stories for several years. These stories are powerful accounts of women in the Old Testament--stories that have profoundly affected how women understand themselves as well as men's perception of them. Here, Alice Bellis shares the research of feminist biblical scholarship during a quarter of a century, which renders a vast amount of refreshing, exciting, sometimes disturbing material.
Book Synopsis Sexual Hospitality in the Hebrew Bible by : Thalia Gur-Klein
Download or read book Sexual Hospitality in the Hebrew Bible written by Thalia Gur-Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman's life in the ancient world was constrained by her social and economic status. As a daughter she was firmly under the aegis of her father and brothers, who would later allocate the woman to another man as his wife. The power of fathers and husbands extended to using their wives and daughters as sexual gifts to gain favour. Yet, alongside this, woman had certain socio-economic rights notably concerning inheritance and property - which they could use to protect themselves. 'Sexual Hospitality in the Hebrew Bible' examines sacred sexuality and ritual fecundity from patronymic marriage - where the husband claims exclusive rights over his wife's sexuality and attributes her offspring to his line and kin - to metronymic conjugal systems which allow a woman to remain in her home where the male consort joins her and her kin. Ranging across abstention, promiscuity, and holy offering, the sexual lives of women in biblical times reveal not only restriction but also female agency and resistance.
Book Synopsis Feminist Theory and the Bible by : Esther Fuchs
Download or read book Feminist Theory and the Bible written by Esther Fuchs and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Theory and the Bible: Interrogating the Sources conceptualizes, contextualizes and maps a new kind of burgeoning scholarship that has grown up in recent decades. This scholarship emerged in the margins of Feminist Studies and Biblical Studies and has yet to find a foothold in either one of these more established contexts. In this book, Esther Fuchs argues that in order to find an enduring, stable place in the academe, this scholarship requires a theoretical perspective. Biblical Studies as a whole has not yet been sufficiently theorized as an academic field, and currently consists of multiple disciplines relying for the most part on traditional scholarly discourses. In this regard, Feminist Biblical Studies is both a departure from and an important supplement to both Feminist Studies and Biblical Studies.
Book Synopsis The Book of Jeremiah by : John Goldingay
Download or read book The Book of Jeremiah written by John Goldingay and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the Major Prophets, Jeremiah is perhaps the least straightforward. It is variously comprised of stories about the prophet Jeremiah, exchanges between Jeremiah and Yahweh, and messages directly from Yahweh—meaning a consciousness of form is essential to the understanding of its content. At times it is written in poetry, resembling Isaiah, while at other times it is written in prose, more similar to Ezekiel. And it is without doubt the darkest and most threatening of the Major Prophets, inviting comparisons to Amos and Hosea. John Goldingay, a widely respected biblical scholar who has written extensively on the entire Old Testament, navigates these complexities in the same spirit as other volumes of the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series—rooted in Jeremiah’s historical context but with an eye always trained on its meaning and use as Christian Scripture. After a thorough introduction that explores matters of background, composition, and theology, Goldingay provides an original translation and verse-by-verse commentary of all fifty-two chapters, making this an authoritative and indispensable reference for scholars and pastors as they engage with Jeremiah from a contemporary Christian standpoint.
