Opis

Thiede describes a biblical rape culture sustained by Yhwh and a host of men – from kings and princes to their relatives, counsel, generals, and servants. A meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion, gender studies, and masculinity studies.
