Recenzii
"Written in a lively contemporary style, these seven essays address a knowledgeable academic audience and are accompanied by voluminous endnotes. A careful scholar, Spencer bolsters his own interpretations and speculations with a sweeping review of feminist contemporary output, mostly by women, including Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Jane Schaberg, and Esther Fuchs, as well as Marc Brettler, David Gunn, and many others.... the book is recommended for religious and academic collections as an intelligent contribution to the ongoing debate".-Library Journal
mention in PostScripts, July 2009
'although this book is easy reading, it is certainly not superficial frivolous theology. On the contrary. Spencer substantiates his arguments by means of thorough scholarly research...Of particular interest is the fact that this book is written by a male scholar who takes on a feminist perspective..Thus one may expect a certain degree of reading against the grain, and this is indeed what happens for most of the part....Dancing Girls, Loose Ladies and Women of the Cloth is an uncommonly exciting perspective on some women in the NT. They take the read for an unexpected dance; they manage to pick up several loose threads that they weave together in an interesting even provocative -cloth. A trendy party gown? No, this garment is designed for la party haute...' ~ Gerda de Villiers, Neotestamentica, Journal of the New Testament Society of South Africa, July 2006
"Spencer dives into the world of biblical women with all its complexities. But most importantly, he pays close attention to feminist readings of biblical texts. Spencer is a good listener to the various biblical and scholarly voices, and models a thoughtful way into the many debates about the roles of biblical women." -Tina Pippin, Professor of Religious Studies, Agnes Scott College "F. Scott Spencer has been listening to feminists for decade, an extraordinary thing for a male biblical scholar. Convinced that feminism is for everybody, he displays uncommon perception, with, and insight, as he links arms with women in the struggle against sexist interpretations to biblical texts. Spencer avoids many of the pitfalls into which other well-intentioned males have fallen: patronization, colonization, cooptation, or neutralization, as he becomes a feminist companion." -Barbara Reid
"This study of New Testament women 'of passion and purpose' is itself passionate about the value of feminist criticism as an item in the interpreter's toolbox, and as a crucial part of the struggle for equality in church, society, and daily life. Written in a warm, accessible style, Spencer's book invites us readers--scholars and lay people alike--into a world in which biblical women matter, to Jesus, to the church, and to ourselves."

"This is an exceptionally rewarding book. Its readings of 'the women in Jesus' life' -together with Jesus in women's lives - are unusually creative, frequently provocative, and always interesting." -Stephen D. Moore, Professor of New Testament, Drew Theology School
'The book is accessible and engaging and certainly can be said to take a fresh look at the stories and characters it deals with.' ~ Gary Burnett, Vol. 28.5

"Expertly written...an ideal book for Biblical study groups or simple individual contemplation." -The Midwest Book Review, July 2005
"Drawing from the biblical stories of Jesus' encounters with women, Spencer takes us into the world of a very human Jesus, showing from the text both the honesty and the complexity of his relationships with the women of his time.... Spencer is at his best exploring the dynamic that he calls 'strategies of connection/opposition affecting male/female discourse.'... Scholars will appreciate Spencer's thorough research." -Publishers Weekly, September 13, 2004
'this is a lively, thought-provoking and spirited volume that is cleverly crafted and should prove engaging for those who are either familiar with, or even new to, the theatre of New Testament scholarship.' Philomena Cullen, Theological Book Review, Vol 18, No. 1, 2006
