Out of the Garden: Women Writers on the Bible by Christina Büchmann & Celina Spiegel (Editors)
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 3.2 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: "By turns witty, erudite, probingly serious and sparklingly irreverent, these essays refresh our readings of the Bible, and deepen our vision of foundational feminist figures. A wonderfully thought-provoking and readable collection."
Genre: Non-Fiction | New Age
—This is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity—reclaiming the Bible for women and showing readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again. Drawing on their own experiences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly imaginatively—and sometimes reproachfully—address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. As with all great works of literature, it is a book that changes as we change, a garden in its own right whose pleasures are there for the taking, as are its surprises and thorny byways.
