Product Description: Renowned feminist Bible scholar Tikva Frymer-Kensky shares the best writings of her long and distinguished career in this new JPS Scholars of Distinction volume.
Each of the 30 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 authors 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 Scholars of Distinction series written by a woman, but also because Frymer-Kenskys personal and forthright voice resonates so clearly throughout each piece.
Scholars and students of Bible, Jewish studies, and womens studies will surely find this to be a one-of-a kind collection.
