An international collection of ecumenical, gender-sensitive interpretations

Authors examine the lives of women in Roman Palestine, named and unnamed women in the Gospels, and the role of gender in the reception of the Hebrew scriptures in the New Testament.

Features:

• Essays by scholars from scholars from around the world


• An introduction and twenty essays focused on women and gender relations


• Coverage of power relations and ideologies within the texts and in current interpretations
