Volume 2 of Women in the Biblical World: A Survey of Old and New Testament Perspectives encompasses the latest research in feminist biblical scholarship. New angles of interpretation and fresh perspectives regarding often overlooked biblical women will be gained from the pages of this volume. This volume focuses on such women as Tamar, Deborah, Manoah's wife, Queen Vashti, and Job's wife. Attention is also given to socio-historical backgrounds lurking behind the biblical text (such as women in Greco-Roman education and syncretism in Ephesus), demonstrating how these backgrounds directly influenced the writings about women. Some emphasis on contemporary application is also stressed regarding problematic passages, such as 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. This multi-faceted approach to women in the Bible will prove to be invigorating, refreshing, and enlightening for all to read.
Elizabeth A. McCabe earned an M.A. in Biblical Studies at Cincinnati Christian University with a dual concentration in Old Testament and New Testament. She is the editor of Volume 1 of Women in the Biblical World: A Survey of Old and New Testament Perspectives, as well as the author of An Examination of the Isis Cult with Preliminary Exploration into New Testament Studies.
