Theology Today
"This is one of those rare books that ought to be read by anyone
who deals with Scripture or sexuality. Seldom has this reader had
the pleasure of reviewing a book that maintained such a high level
of interest, insight, and scholarship from start to finish, or
challenged in such a positive way so many accepted conclusions of
both more traditional as well as feminist interpretations of
biblical texts." The Bible Today
"The only comprehensive biblical theology devoted to this topic. .
. Phyllis Trible has written an excellent foreword in which she
compares Terrien's feminist insights with those of Tikva
Frymer-Kensky and Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza. . . The book
continues to be well worth the reading."
