Zusatztext What a fun collection of intersectional Bible scholarship on gender and sexuality! From Dinah in Genesis 34 to a queerly approached book of Revelation, this anthology will surely whet any student’s appetite for more on the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The twenty-two essays document the vibrancy, breadth, and depth of Bible interpretations and what is at stake when the biblical focus rests on gender and sexuality, interfaced with feminist, queer, masculinity, disability, critical race, and postcolonial studies. Informationen zum Autor Lynn R. Huber is Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University, USA. Rhiannon Graybill is W.J. Millard Professor of Religion and Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Rhodes College, USA Klappentext This volume collects both classic and cutting-edge readings related to gender, sex, sexuality, and the Bible.
