Produktbeschreibung
This book explores the Hebrew Bible for evidence of comedy and further asks how reading the Hebrew Bible through a comic "lens" might positively inform feminist interpretation. The exploration is conducted with a number of Hebrew Bible narratives, all of which prominently involve female characters.
Comedy is both relative, linked to a time and culture, and universal, found pervasively across time and culture. The Hebrew Bible contains comedy of this relative, yet universal nature. Melissa A. Jackson engages the Hebrew Bible via a comic reading and brings that reading into conversation with feminist-critical interpretation, in resistance to any lingering stereotype that comedy is fundamentally non-serious or that feminist critique is fundamentally unsmiling.
Autorenporträt

Veering from that course of study took her to Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond (Virginia), where she obtained a Master of Divinity and was subsequently ordained as a Baptist minister. After working several years in the church, she returned to academia in Oxford, where she was awarded a Dphil in Theology (Old Testament). Melissa is currently back in Richmond at her alma mater, BTSR, teaching Old Testament studies.
