Engaging the Bible in a Gendered World: An Introduction to Feminist Biblical Interpretation in Honor of Katharine Doob Sakenfeld

Christian Century,  May 1, 2007  by Kathleen M. O'Connor

Engaging the Bible in a Gendered World: An Introduction to Feminist Biblical Interpretation in Honor of Katharine Doob Sakenfeld. Edited by Linda Day and Carolyn Pressler. (Westminster John Knox, 288 pp., $29.95 paperback.) Designed to introduce the uninitiated to the burgeoning field of feminist criticism, this collection of essays shows where feminist criticism came from, what it has accomplished and where the conversation now stands. Male and female contributors representing a variety of affiliations and identities reflect on texts, methods and a multiplicity of themes--from the inclusive-language wars to the postcolonial contributions of feminism from the two-thirds world.

Selected by Kathleen M. O'Connor, who teaches Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.
