Eve Isn’t Evil: Feminist Readings of the Bible to Upend Our Assumptions
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
One reason the Bible has endured for millennia is its ability to reach our common humanness and give uplifting insights about struggle, resilience, and hope. Intertwining academic knowledge and candid, personal, and sometimes humorous stories, Julie Faith Parker helps readers engage the whole Bible with both mind and heart—to learn big theological ideas, question their assumptions, develop interpretive skills, and enhance their personal faith journey.
The title chapter demonstrates how feminism interprets the Bible with fresh eyes and offers empowering insights, an approach used in the rest of the book. In each chapter, Parker reads biblical texts through a feminist lens. The book discusses both neglected and well-known Old Testament passages with one chapter on the New Testament. Parker's reflections show how vital our readings of the Bible can be as a source of strength, guidance, and even defiance.
Designed to supplement any Bible introduction course, this book includes discussion questions and a succinct overview of the Bible.
