| Summary: | This paper explores James' treatment of Rahab in the context of a larger interpretative history of constructing different images of the whore. The first section navigates between the HB text and how ancient commentators and early Rabbis have 'sanitized' the image of Rahab. The second main section problematizes James' construction of Rahab as a righteous prostitute and criticizes modern biblical scholarship for participating in James' use/abuse and silencing of Rahab. |
