RT Book T1 Gender and second-temple Judaism A2 Ehrensperger, Kathy 1956- A2 Sheinfeld, Shayna LA English PP Lanham Boulder New York London PB Lexington Books/Fortress Academic YR 2020 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1736588249 AB "Ancient literature was generally written by and produced for elite men. That fact creates specific challenges to modern interpreters of gender roles in the ancient world, especially once contemporary understandings of gender as construction and performance are embraced. In Gender and Second-Temple Judaism, world-renowned scholars take on these challenges with regard to ancient Judaism (here including early Christianity and early rabbinic Judaism as well), at once examining the ancient evidence and quite consciously addressing difficult methodological questions regarding gender. Taken together, these chapters further complicate discussions of the construction of identity (e.g., "who is a Jew?") by inflecting them with questions of gender construction as well. Scholars of ancient Judaism and of gender alike will find much to grapple with in these pages"-- Publisher's website AB Gender and Second-Temple Judaism : challenges and possibilities / Shayna Sheinfeld; "The Brooten phenomenon" : moving women from the margins in Second-Temple and New Testament scholarship / Sara Parks; Women itinerants, Jesus of Nazareth, and historical-critical approaches : reevaluating the consensus / Amy-Jill Levine; Paul, the man : enigmatic images / Kathy Ehrensperger; From pain to redemption : 1 Timothy 2:15 in its Jewish context / Sarah E.G.
