If feminism promotes women's rights and the message of the Hebrew Bible keeps them in their theologically correct place, then there is room for much misunderstanding between theologians and feminists. Eryl Davies explores how dissent and feminism relate to the Hebrew Bible. 'This book offers an overview of the contribution of feminist biblical criticism to the biblical studies field... Davies promotes a reader-oriented literary-critical approach to the Hebrew Bible.' Theological Book Review '...would make an excellent resource for a course on biblical criticism....is well written and provides a good, basic introduction to feminist readings of the Hebrew Bible.' Reviews in Religion and Theology 'This is a book about questioning all of our fundamental presuppositions; thus it raises further questions, and makes a compelling read.' The Expository Times '... helpful volume...' Journal for the Study of the Old Testament '... a fine reference tool for a significant avenue of modern biblical scholarship' Themelios
