| Summary: | In the Preface to their book, Marion Ann Taylor and Heather E. Weir make clear that, in the field of exegetical writing and interpretation, there is an area of silence that should be filled with the voices of women. The title of their book is somewhat provocative: is it even possible for these 19th century women to truly speak for themselves? Writers such as Patricia Demers have used some of these female Biblical interpreters to ‘[engage] contemporary issues’, but, as Taylor and Weir rightly point out, this ‘shifts the focus away from recovering voices of women interpreters from the past’ (p. xvi). The title, then, is almost a demand that, whatever various parties can gain from these writers, they must at least be allowed a fuller hearing. |
