Author: TRIBLE, PHYLLIS.
Title: Texts of Terror. Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives.
Description: London: SCM, 1984. 0334025303. Four variations on the theme of terror in the Bible, the tragic stories of four women in ancient Israel: Hagar, Tamar, an unnamed concubine and the daughter of Jephthah. Highlighting the silence, absece, and opposition of God, as well as human cruelty, Trible shows how these neglected stories challenge both the misogyny of scripture and its use in church, synagogue and the scholarly world. Pp.xiv/128, toning to pages, owner's name to front free endpaper. Paperback. G+.
