The Bible, Gender, and Sexuality: Critical Readings de Dr. Lynn R. Huber

The Bible, Gender, and Sexuality: Critical Readings: T&T Clark Critical Readings in Biblical Studies

Editat de Dr. Lynn R. Huber, Dr Rhiannon Graybill
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2020
This volume collects both classic and cutting-edge readings related to gender, sex, sexuality, and the Bible. Engaging the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and surrounding texts and worlds, Rhiannon Graybill and Lynn R. Huber have amassed a selection of essays that reflects a wide range of perspectives and approaches towards gender and sexuality. Presented in three distinct parts, the collection begins with an examination of gender in and around biblical contexts, before moving to discussing sex and sexualities, and finally critiques of gender and sexuality. Each reading is introduced by the editors in order to situate it in its broader scholarly context, and each section culminates in an annotated list of further readings to point researchers towards other engagements with these key themes.

Recenzii

This collection is a tour de force on gender and sexuality in biblical studies. Its strength lies in the rich and extensive approaches that the contributing authors employed in filling crucial gaps on interpretation and contextualization of this topic in biblical studies ... this volume is notably a masterpiece and broadly expand earlier conversations on gender and sexuality in biblical studies. A product of clearly written scholarship of well-acclaimed intellectuals, beautifully structured, and finely edited into a succinct collection, the book is a must have for scholars and students of gender and sexuality, biblical scholars, religious institutions, and classical historians.
This volume offers a treasure trove of inspiring and groundbreaking scholarship. Each contributor reminds us that biblical studies embraces a rich and diverse potential to explore the texts in new and exciting ways.
This vibrant collection brings together a variety of groundbreaking, provocative and inspirational reflections on biblical texts from both testaments. When combined in one volume, the result veritably crackles! Gender and sexuality with reference to the Bible are complex and queer in terms of the ideologies they convey, and this book is just the thing for sharpening critical faculties!
What a fun collection of intersectional Bible scholarship on gender and sexuality! From Dinah in Genesis 34 to a queerly approached book of Revelation, this anthology will surely whet any student's appetite for more on the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The twenty-two essays document the vibrancy, breadth, and depth of Bible interpretations and what is at stake when the biblical focus rests on gender and sexuality, interfaced with feminist, queer, masculinity, disability, critical race, and postcolonial studies.
