Wo/men, Scripture, and Politics

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of biblical interpretation and contemporary politics, Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza explores how scripture can inform and challenge the democratic imagination, particularly regarding women's leadership. The book examines the cultural challenges women face in politics, including issues of sexual abuse and the #MeToo movement. Through her analysis, she encourages readers to reimagine the role of women in the public sphere and to contribute their own biblical examples to foster a more inclusive vision of women's participation in political discourse.
