Recenzii
This
collection
of
essays
on
the
books
of
Tobit
and
Judith
is
a
welcome
addition
to
a
landmark
series
that
has
put
feminist
criticism
prominently
on
the
map
of
biblical
studies.
It
is
a
significant
addition
as
well
because
it
is
the
first
time
Tobit
appears
in
the
Feminist
Companion
Series.
The
combination
of
new
and
previously
published
studies-the
latter
either
revised
or
accompanied
by
the
authors'
self-responses
to
their
earlier
work
(and
in
one
case
a
response
by
Brenner-Idan)-works
splendidly
to
give
readers
a
sense
of
developments
in
feminist
studies
of
Tobit
and
Judith.
With
its
focus
on
identity-religious,
gendered,
individual
or
group,
its
formation
or
loss-and
related
topics
such
as
diaspora,
boundaries,
the
body,
and
food
as
an
identity
marker,
this
volume
is
relevant
for
the
study
not
only
of
Tobit
and
Judith
but
of
other
biblical
books
as
well.
An international treasure trove of articles some first published twenty years ago are here coupled with previously published essays and new essays on Judith and Tobit. What is being suggested here is programmatic counsel about radical, transformative, phase-shift change in our understanding of biblical studies. When Judith says, "let us set an example for the people" (Jdt 8:24) to the magistrates of Bethulia, they don't get it, but perhaps we can. Patriarchy still exists, but along side it something new is emerging-a network of shared agency and identity (heterarchy). This book is highly recommended for classes on Tobit and Judith or methodology.
