Wo/men, Scripture, and Politics

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of biblical interpretation and contemporary politics, Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza examines the role of scripture in shaping women's leadership and addressing issues like sexual abuse and the #MeToo movement. She critiques the often-taboo nature of political discourse surrounding biblical rhetoric and advocates for its necessary use in democratic discussions. Through four chapters, the author encourages readers to reimagine women's cultural imprints in politics and contribute their own biblical examples to foster a vision of women's active participation in public life.
