Feminist Companion to Paul Summary

Feminist Companion to Paul: Deutero-Pauline Writings by Amy-Jill Levine

The seventh volume of this Companion series is devoted to the writings ascribed to Paul but widely thought not to be genuiinely from the Apostle. These are of particular importance in showing how Paul's authority was exploited in the Early Church, and the topics addressed often deal with Christian discipline and hierarchy. Hence there is a particularly strong feminist agenda to be explored here.The Pastoral Epistles, Ephesians and Colossians are prominent among the writings addressed in this sparkling collection, and the authors include David Scholer, Luise Schottroff, Bonnie Thurston, Lilian Portefaix, Sara Winter and Ingrid Rosa Kitzberger.

Feminist Companion to Paul Reviews

...the ten essays represent a wide range of viewpoints, from 'liberal' and 'nontraditional' to more conservative and evangelical perspectives. -RBL (Society of Biblical Literature), 2/05
The feminist perspective on Paul has been underrepresented in publications that can be readily accessed as exegetical resources for theological students. This volume responds to that need.... It provides a sampling of feminist approaches to New Testament texts. It exemplifies, on the whole, very careful work with primary texts that extend beyond those of the New Testament canon. - Review of Biblical Literature, 4/05 * Review of Biblical Literature *
