The bible from a feminist point of view,
This review is from: Women at the Well (Paperback)
It is about time! This is the bible from a uniquely female (and feminist) point of view, and it is good to see some deflation of these biblical stuffed shirts. Not for anyone who feels biblical figures must be taken as above reproach. This is also a profound exploration of what it means to be female in a rigid Christian culture, and has some surprisingly sympathetic accounts of the males as well. Mary's poem is heartrending and creates a very human woman and mother. Poetry written with passion and elegance.

An interesting and enlightening perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women at the Well (Herland, No 14) (Paperback)
Women at the well places the reader into the personae of various biblical women via narrative poetry. This is a very interesting counterpoint to most of the historical renditions we get by reading the mostly-male point of view in the bible. I found it moving...
