Feminist Companion to Paul

"...the ten essays represent a wide range of viewpoints, from liberal' and nontraditional' to more conservative and evangelical perspectives." -RBL (Society of Biblical Literature), 2/05 "The feminist perspective on Paul has been underrepresented in publications that can be readily accessed as exegetical resources for theological students. This volume responds to that need.... It provides a sampling of feminist approaches to New Testament texts. It exemplifies, on the whole, very careful work with primary texts that extend beyond those of the New Testament canon." - Review of Biblical Literature, 4/05 * Review of Biblical Literature * "The feminist perspective on Paul has been underrepresented in publications that can be readily accessed as exegetical resources for theological students.
