Recenzii

"Edited by Amy-Jill Levine, a Feminist Companion to the New Testament Apocrypha is an anthology of essays by a wide variety of learned authors exploring apocryphal New Testament texts such as the Acts of Paul, the Acts of Peter, Thecla, the Apocalypse of Peter, and much more, as well as Irish apocrypha and Greek novels, from a feminist perspective. Specific topics discussed include Christian identity, Christian martyrdom, heterodoxy and orthodoxy, conjugal ethics and apostolic home wreckers, asceticism, eroticism, and much more. An extensive bibliography and index of references rounds out this scholarly and at times technical close analysis. Enthusiastically recommended for advanced theology and Biblical literature reference shelves."
Reviewed by Judith Lieu, Theological Book Review  Vol. 19 No. 1 2007
This book is the 11th volume in the series A Feminist Companion to the New Testament and Early Christian Writings. It is an important publication in an important series. For almost a decade, series editor Amy-Jill Levine has presented volume after volume of important and groundbreaking essays. The series is indispensable for any New Testament scholar with an interest in gender issues... This volume reflects the important work that has been done by feminist scholars on the apocryphal writings of early Christianity - texts on the margins of the canon... Some of the essays are reprints of earlier publications, while others were especially written for this volume. The combination works well, as does the selection of contributors, which ranges from scholars well known for their feminist approach to scholars whose interest in gender may be quite new.
