Philippians lends itself to a political-ideological reading. To take into account that the document is a writing from prison, and to read it from a political-religious and feminist perspective using new language, helps to re-create the letter as if it were a new document. In this analysis Elsa Tamez endeavors to utilize non-patriarchal, inclusive language, which helps us to see the contents of the letter with different eyes.Cynthia Briggs Kittredge and Claire Miller Colombo argue that Colossians’s contradictions and complications provide opportunities for entering imaginatively into the world of first-century Christian women and men. Rather than try to resolve the controversial portions—including the household code—they read the letter’s tensions as evidence of lively conversation around key theological, spiritual, and social issues of the time.Taking into account historical, structural, and rhetorical dimensions of Philemon, Alicia J. Batten argues against the “runaway slave” hypothesis that has so dominated the interpretation of this letter. Paul asks that Onesimus be treated well, but the commentary takes seriously the fact that we never hear what Onesimus’s wishes may have been. Slaves throughout history have had similar experiences, as have many women. Like Onesimus, their lives and futures remain in the hands of others, whether those others seek good or ill.From the Wisdom Commentary seriesFeminist biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers in their advancement toward God’s vision of dignity, equality, and justice for all.The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect.Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

This volume gathers sixteen Anglican scholars and clergy who reflect on how their ecclesial identities shape the ways they read, teach, preach, and live Scripture. Rather than proposing a single Anglican method, the essays illuminate a heterogeneous, evolving hermeneutical tradition rooted in worship, history, pastoral practice, and ethical concern. Contributions range from text criticism and translation, through historical and theological interpretation, to preaching, communal discernment, and autobiographical reflection. Together they demonstrate how Scripture functions in company with liturgy, doctrine, and lived experience, attending carefully to language, imagination, and local context.Written at a time of contested Anglican identity, the collection challenges reified accounts of biblical interpretation and highlights the tradition’s growing edges. By integrating rigorous scholarship with ecclesial practice, these essays model “performative” readings that are intellectually responsible, spiritually attentive, and communally engaged. This first volume in the Anglican Readings of Scripture series will appeal to scholars, students, clergy, and thoughtful lay readers seeking deeper insight into the vitality and diversity of Anglican engagement with the Bible today across churches, classrooms, and communities worldwide together.
