This book IS progressively pro-feminist. :),
By Christyn H (Berkeley, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Feminist Companion to Paul (Feminist Companion to the New Testament and Early Chritian Writings) (Paperback)
Of course Paul was not necessarily a Feminist - that's why this book exists - for feminists. Thus, this is a feminist companion to reading non-feminist books (Pauline letters). I read Levine's Feminist Companion to Deutero-Pauline Letters and it was completly helpful in my academic and personal studies. I wrote a whole exegetical based on one of its essays alone, which helped prove why it is important to consider the historical, rhetorical, and literary settings of these letters before jumping to conclusions (such as "Paul is not a feminist... read 1 Corinthians"). Such a statement is a reason one would enjoy this book.
