The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Approaches to the Hebrew Bible brings together 37 essential essays written by leading international scholars, examining crucial points of analysis within the field of feminist Hebrew Bible studies. Organized into four major areas - globalization, neoliberalism, media, and intersectionality - the essays collectively provide vibrant, relevant, and innovative contributions to the field. The topics of analysis focus heavily on gender and queer identity, with essays touching on African, Korean, and European feminist hermeneutics, womanist and interreligious readings, ecofeminist and animal biblical studies, migration biblical studies, the role of gender binary voices in evangelical-egalitarian approaches, and the examination of scripture in light of trans women's voices. The volume also includes essays examining the Old Testament as recited in music, literature, film, and video games. The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Approaches to the Hebrew Bible charts a culturally, hermeneutically, and exegetically cutting-edge path for the ongoing development of biblical studies grounded in feminist, womanist, gender, and queer perspectives.
This collection of essays describes the pursuit of biblical scholarship in the twenty-first century and explores the implications of modern and postmodern approaches, collaborative and emancipative models of graduate and undergraduate education, and public and political uses of the Bible. Special attention is given to the role of the Society of Biblical Literature. Essays by nine SBL presidents appear in the collection, which honors SBL Executive Director Emeritus Kent Harold Richards.
Die Erzählung von "David, Batseba und Urija" mit ihren Themen wie Königsmacht, Begehren, Ehebruch und Mord ist eine der spannendsten alttestamentlichen Geschichten und zugleich ein herausragendes Exempel der hebräischen Erzählkunst. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Studie steht die Analyse von 2 Sam 11 anhand narratologischer Kriterien wie Erzählstimme, Perspektive, Handlung, Raum, Zeit und Figuren. Diese ermöglichen eine detaillierte Beschreibung der biblischen Erzählung und zeigen, dass ebenso viel verschwiegen wie erzählt wird. Wie solche Leerstellen und Ambiguitäten die Lektüre des Bibeltextes beeinflussen, wird anhand der Rezeptionsgeschichte der Figuren aufgezeigt.

Since its origins in the women's liberation movement, feminist exegesis has been subject not only to the demand to identify the oppressive functions of biblical texts but also to contribute to the liberation of women. What biblical texts can serve this process of liberation-for which women, under what conditions, and in what manner? What roles do categories such as woman, gender, liberation, freedom, Holy Scripture, church, and theology play? This book originated from a symposium with feminist biblical experts from over twenty countries from five continents. It provides a striking and imaginative depiction of the questions central to feminist exegesis and the hermeneutics of liberation. It a...

The term mercy is currently omnipresent in Catholic debates. It dominates at events such as the recent Family Synods and the Jubilee Years. At the same time, it poses a significant problem for cases dealing with sexual abuse. Mercy calls to consider an individual's needs and this conflicts with justice necessitating equal treatment for everyone. Mercy applies to the fallible individual deserving of punishment, but who is saved by grace. This is most apparent in the Sacrament of Penance and other forms of penitence, forgiveness, and reconciliation where mercy both transcends and undermines justice. This problem, widely ignored in church teaching, is addressed by Dirk Ansorge, James Dallen, Judith Hahn, Atria A. Larson, Sandra Lassak, Michael A. Nobel, Rosel Oehmen-Vieregge, Heike Springhart, and Gunda Werner.

Die Bibel gilt zu Recht als universales Buch. Tag für Tag wird sie rund um den Globus gelesen, meditiert, diskutiert, künstlerisch interpretiert. Wie werden biblische Texte anderswo auf der Welt verstanden? Christian Weber bietet in seiner Einführung sechs verschiedene Zugänge an. Allen liegt ein kontextbezogenes Verständnis der Bibel zugrunde. Das Praxisbuch öffnet so den Horizont für das eigene Verstehen der Bibel und zeigt die Bibel als Brücke in der interkulturellen Verständigung. Faszinierend sind die Interpretationen zu 70 Kunstwerken aus aller Welt zu ausgewählten biblischen Geschichten. Das Buch bietet Anregungen für eine persönliche Entdeckungsreise in kontextbezogener Bibelauslegung. Zugleich ist es ein Praxisbuch für Gesprächsgruppen und die Gemeinde mit vielfältigen Anwendungsideen für den Einsatz in Gottesdiensten, in der Konfirmationsarbeit und bei interreligiösen Begegnungen.
