Beskrivning

This volume examines questions concerning the construction of gender and identity in the earliest days of what is now Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Methodologically explicit, the contributions analyze textual and material sources related to these religious traditions in their cultural contexts. The sources examined are predominantly products of patriarchal elite discourses requiring innovative approaches to unveil aspects of gender otherwise hidden. This volume extends the discussion represented in the volume Gender and Second-Temple Judaism (2020) and highlights the fruitfulness of interdisciplinary research beyond anachronistic discipline distinctions.

Recensioner i media

With the use of diverse methodologies, the contributing authors in this volume skillfully expose the intricate web of gender constructions across the late ancient Mediterranean world. A triumph of contemporary intersectional lenses, this work illuminates the understanding that gender is, and always has been, a richly constructed mosaic in the religious imagination.
