Beskrivning

Cheryl Anderson examines the laws relating to women that are found in the Book of the Covenant and the Deuteronomic law. She argues that the laws can be divided into those that treat women similarly to men (defined as "inclusive" laws) and those that treat women differently ("exclusive" laws). This study then suggests that the exclusive laws, which construct gender as male dominance/female subordination, do not just describe violence against women but constitute a form of violence against women. As a non-historical critique of ideology, critical theory is used to offer analytical insights that have significant implications for understanding gender constructions and violence in ot ancient and contemporary settings.

Recensioner i media

"...the book's structure has a lot to recommend it. It is simply well done.... Caution continues to be a hallmark of the work, and it is coupled by sound judgment.... "This book is a welcome addition to the growing volume of feminist readings/ writings on biblical 'law', readings that mostly reaffirm older feminist views on biblical literature's ideo-social bias on women, but are anchored on a broader theoretical and critical base. It ought to be helpful for anyone interested in biblical 'law'. And I recommend it, among other reasons, also for its brevity: it is short, but backed with selective erudition and good sense."- Athalya Brenner, Journal of Hebrew Scriptures, Vol. 7 2007
