Phyllis Trible, “Texts of Terror: Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives”

A renowned scholar performs a close reading of four of the most horrific passages in the Old Testament. Free translation draws out the poetic structure and literary emphases of the Hebrew text to draw out the voices (and erasure of voices) and lived experiences of women in pivotal events of the bible.

While she draws out new meanings of the annunciation, the suffering servant, and Abraham's sacrifice, there is no redeeming story to be found here.

Hagar (Genesis 16:1-16; 21:9-21)
Tamar (2 Samuel 13:1-22)
An Unnamed Woman (Judges 19:1-30)
The Daughter of Jepthah (Judges 11:29-40)

A reprint of a classic feminist text first published by Student Christian Movement (SCM) Press.
