Opis

Drawing from feminist, masculinity and queer studies, this book uses close literary analysis to argue that the writers of the Bible intentionally challenge gender norms in order to reveal the dangers of destabilizing societal and theological hierarchies that privilege men and masculinity.

Recenzje

"The close attention paid to character construction in the text is commendable; K. employs a great deal of exegetical skill to highlight specific examples of subversive behaviour in the text, particularly in the relationships between characters." – Holly Thompson, SOTS Book List 2017
