Beskrivning
The women in Jesus' life are a raucous and rowdy bunch, including "riotous" foremothers, "loose women," and "distressed daughters of Israel." Reading these new ways of interpreting women in the Gospels, male New Testament scholars have discovered liberating perspectives. In seven scintillating studies, Spencer explores among others the genealogy of Matthew's Gospel to discover the riotous yet righteous nature of Jesus' foremothers, slave girls and prophetic daughters in Luke-Acts, and women leading men in the Gospel of Mark 5-7. Scott Spencer, a virtuoso young New Testament scholar, provides his own lively forays into reading the Gospels through women's eyes. He shows what it is like for a man to read stories about the women in Jesus' life from a new perspective. Spencer is an able and inventive scholar whose broad-ranging insights and engaging style make his work very accessible.

'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
