Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This brief study provides a clear and succinct overview of the role women played in ancient Israelite religion. Meyers points out that too many scholars have left women out of the picture of Israelite religion all together, and that others have treated them simply as part of "non-orthodox" official religion. The author stresses the diversity of religious practices in ancient Israel and that we should take into account "magic" as an important avenue of inquiry, as well as "practices" (not just beliefs).

Customer Reviews

a short and lacking treatment

Carol Myers' treatment of ancient Israelite domestic, mainly female religion in Households and Holiness suffers from too much compression of its subject matter. Myers meant this to be a short treatment, but it is entirely too short to do justice to the wealth of ideas present. At best, this work can be the jumping off point for further research into introductory material on ancient Israelite domestic religion.
