<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A prominent journalist reports on what the latest scholarship reveals about the women in Holy Writ--and the women, ancient and modern, who have been left out of it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the world that created the Bible, there were no female scholars and theologians, yet in the past four decades, owing to such stunning discoveries as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi texts, as well as advances in historical understanding and the rise of feminism, a generation of scholars has found new ways to interpret the Scriptures and the societies that created them -- exploring avenues traditionally ignored by male-dominated religious study. Surveying the new scholarship and the personalities of those who have created it, The Word According to Eve not only explores afresh the history of our religions but offers exciting new challenges to our sense of worship.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Provocative and lucid . . . an engaging book.
