This unique volume addresses this gap, with eighteen Biblically rich and academically rigorous chapters by established and emerging Australian women scholars in the Evangelical tradition. The authors consider our relationship with the land and Indigenous peoples, neighborhood, embodiment, (dis)ability, abortion, leadership, work, architecture, the media, Song of Songs and domestic violence, and Jeremiah and weaponized rape, and demonstrate recent methodologies such as a social identity reading of Exodus, sensory readings of Psalms and John's Gospel, and discipleship readings of Mary and Martha and the woman at the well. A contemporary Kriol psalm and stories of pioneering Australian women theological students and teachers complete the volume. Valuable for students and teachers across Bible, theology, ministry, and practice subjects, this book is an essential inclusion in any theological library Bibliography Includes bibliographical references SUBJECT Bible -- Criticism, interpretation, etc. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85013617 Bible fast Subject Women Biblical scholars -- Australia Women scholars -- Australia Women -- Biblical teaching Women -- Australia -- Religious aspects Theology -- Australia Women Biblical scholars Theology Women -- Biblical teaching Women -- Religious aspects Women scholars Australia Genre/Form Criticism, interpretation, etc. Form Electronic book Author Firth, Jill, editor Cooper-Clarke, Denise, editor ISBN 9781725288799 1725288796
