After Exegesis

After Exegesis is sure to become a standard and much-cited work, both for its clarity of method in feminist biblical theology and for the excellence of the individual contributions to major themes of the theological tradition.

~Katharine Doob Sakenfeld, Emerita, Princeton Theological Seminary

This is a remarkable volume: well designed, edited, and executed; both thorough and comprehensive, learned and mature; and beautifully written on top of it all. Perhaps the highest compliment I could pay the book is that it is an altogether worthy tribute to its honoree, the leading scholar of her generation, Carol A. Newsom.

~Brent A. Strawn, Professor of Old Testament, Emory University

A theologically rich tribute to Emory Professor Carol Newsom whose dedication to dialogical and feminist biblical scholarship continues to shape and inspire current and new generations of biblical theologians.

~Dennis Olson, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary

This volume is remarkably even in literary style, exegetical solidness, and imaginative interpretation…After Exegesis is worthy of purchase and study by any interested in the important work of biblical interpretation.

~W. Eugene March, Horizons in Biblical Theology

The array of theological themes explored includes creation, providence, divine judgment, salvation, praise, justice, authority, inclusion, the 'other,' moral agency, suffering, violence, reconciliation, flourishing, and hope. All the essays are well written and insightful, and together they confirm that 'the Bible in general and the Old Testament in particular, when examined closely, are more amenable than one might think to feminist thought' (p. 3).

~Frances Taylor Gench, Interpretation: Journal of Bible and Theology

A valuable resource not only for specialists in biblical studies, constructive theology, and feminist scholarship but also for students and others seeking an introduction to these fields.

~Christine Thomas, Catholic Biblical Quarterly

After Exegesis is a brilliant piece of work. It is written in a style which suits both the seasoned academic as well as a beginning student of biblical texts.
