ISBN: 0800628721 ISBN-13: 9780800628727 Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishing OUR PRICE: $19.95 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 1998 Annotation: Alice Laffey's rereading of the major themes of the first five books of the Bible will enable readers not only to gain a firm grasp of the contents of this major literary corpus. Like other volumes in this series, it will also point the way to a different reading of Scripture, one that raises today's questions -- power, liberation, justice, and preeminently connectedness. Laffey highlights neglected resources in the text in order "to approach these texts from the perspective of a respectfully interdependent worldview" In this work we witness a radical expansion and transformation of feminist biblical criticism to incorporate concern for all humans, all animals, all nature in a global, even cosmic way. |
