Reading the Women of the Bible: A New Interpretation of Their Stories Hardcover - 2002

by Tikva Frymer-Kensky


From the publisher

A dramatically different way of hearing the voices of the women of the Bible and of interpreting their stories -- from the highly regarded author of In the Wake of the Goddesses.

In this fascinating and important study, Tikva Frymer-Kensky -- biblical scholar, linguist, feminist -- takes up two of the most significant intellectual and religious issues of our day: the experiences of women in a patriarchal society and the relevance of the Bible to modern life. She examines the stories of Sarah, Rebecca, and Rachel; of Dinah, Tamar, Deborah, Ruth, and Jezebel; of Biblical women young and old, married and single, named and anonymous. She considers them individually and collectively, and she describes, using four models, the patterns and themes that emerge from within their lives: woman as victor, as victim, as bride-to-be, and as God's voice.

Ultimately, Reading the Women of the Bible enables us to go beyond scholarship and to consider what relevance these stories have for today's women, whose lives are in many ways different from those of our biblical ancestors. Frymer-Kensky succeeds in illuminating with equal intensity the world of the Bible and our contemporary culture.

First line

THE VICTORS are the great women of the Bible.
