A Feminist Companion to Matthew
Amy-Jill LevinePaperback 2001-09-01
Publisher Description
Ground-breaking feminist analyses from diverse methodological and cultural perspectives on the Gospel of Matthew's depictions of women, gender, sexuality and social class.

The eleven saaya address women's social roles and literary representations, earthly and heavenly fathers, purity regulations and household configurations, Jesus and Wisdom, professional and lay reactions to women's service, the Canaanite women and the women at the tomb, and the interrelation of Matthew's female characters and contemporary struggles for justice. Throughout, the articles expose the politics of gender and sexuality imbedded both in the narrative and, often in the scholarship on the Gospel. This volume includes contributions by J. Capel Anderson, J. Sheffield, A.-J. Levine, C. Deutsch, G. O'Day, E. Wainwright, S. Humphries-Brooks, A. Saldarini, E. Rosenblatt, T. Longstaff and C. Osiek.
