Introduction : engagement not conflict -- And he shall rule over you : Evangelicals, feminists and Genesis 2-3 / Andrew Sloane -- Feminist hermeneutics and Evangelical concerns : the rape of Dinah as a case study / Robin Parry -- Hermeneutics by numbers? : case studies in feminist and Evangelical interpretation of the book of Numbers / Richard Briggs -- Adding insult to injury? : the family laws of Deuteronomy / Jenni Williams -- This is her body ... : Judges 19 as call to discernment / Nicholas Ansell -- Colliding contexts : reading Tamar : (2 Sam 13:1-22) as a twenty-first century woman / Miriam Bier -- Aberrant textuality? : the case of Ezekiel the (porno) prophet / Andrew Sloane -- His desire is for her : feminist readings of the Song of Solomon / Grenville Kent -- Justice at the crossroads : the book of Lamentations and feminist discourse / Heath Thomas -- Patriarchy, biblical authority, and the grand narrative of the Old Testament / Junia Pokrifka -- Can our hermeneutics be both Evangelical and feminist? : insights from the theory and practice of theological interpretation / Todd Pokrifka -- Concluding reflections : Seeing Tamar's tears.
Summary: Evangelical and feminist approaches to Old Testament interpretation often seem to be at odds with each other. The authors of this volume argue to the contrary: feminist and evangelical interpreters of the Old Testament can enter into a constructive dialogue that will be fruitful to both parties. They seek to illustrate this with reference to a number of texts and issues relevant to feminist Old Testament interpretation from an explicitly evangelical point of view. In so doing they raise issues that need to be addressed by both evangelical and feminist interpreters of the Old Testament, and present an invitation to faithful and fruitful reading of these portions of Scripture.
