Format:Paperback
This is an illuminating mixture of first-century social history and biblical commentary from a feminist theological standpoint. It sheds new light on some of the well-known texts where women's daily lives are in view, for example, the parable of the lost coin in Luke 15. The work is very methodical and well-structured, but some chapters take a very long time to get to what are sometimes less than startling conclusions. This is why, for me, Schottroff's book has little of the feminist passion that comes across in the earlier, and seminal, 'In Memory of Her' by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza (to which Schottroff acknowledges a debt). However, Schottroff provides a very useful history of textual interpretation that the earlier work does not have, and frequently illuminates how radical truths drawn from women's lives have been obscured or deliberately overlooked by commentators. In the end what emerges is a mixed bag of insights - some rather obvious, but others startlingly fresh, insightful, powerful - and transformative, if we're willing to let them work on us...
