Since the publication of the first Genesis volume in The Feminist Companion series in 1993, feminist scholars have become both prolific and better recognized, and it has now become possible to present a new volume on Genesis, consisting of recent unpublished essays on the topic. The essays in this collection are grouped under the headings 'Creation and Paradise Revisited', 'MalÝešPractices' and 'Female Modes' and are written from perspectives gleaned from disciplines such as psychology, art history and art criticism, sociology, anthropology and literary criticism. Some of the essays presented here constitute a dialogue with earlier papers in the first Genesis companion, making the two volumes an indispensable resource for reclaiming the female heritage found in the book of Genesis.This volume in the acclaimed feminist companion to the bible series, edited by Athalya Brenner, draws together a range of leading biblical commentators to discuss one of the most challenging and fascinating biblical texts for feminist interpretation, the book of Genesis.
Athalya Brenner is Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Amsterdam, and Rosalyn and Manny Rosenthal Distinguished Professor-in-Residence of Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School, Fort Worth, Texas.
