The editors have gathered the work of outstanding female scholars who read the texts through the eyes of women's experiences in ancient and modern religious cultural contexts. Each writer offered an introduction for a book of the Bible and then focused on portions of the book that dealt with female characters, symbols, life situations (such as marriage and family, the legal status of women and religious principles that effected the relationships of men and women.
This expanded edition includes commentary on the Apocrypha which provides significant glimpses into the lives and religious experiences of women and of the attitudes towards women during the Second Temple period. Also includes a new bibliography. Edited by Carol A. Newsom and Sharon H. Ringe.
