Cheryl Anderson is Old Testament professor at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and a Methodist Minister. Previously she was a practicing attorney in Washington, D.C. Her other books include 'Women, Idelogy and Violence' (T&T Clark, 2004).

"...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
