About this listen

Womanist Midrash is an in-depth and creative exploration of the well- and lesser-known women of the Hebrew Scriptures. Using her own translations, Gafney offers a midrashic interpretation of the biblical text that is rooted in the African American preaching tradition to tell the stories of a variety of female characters, many of whom are often overlooked and nameless. Gafney employs a solid understanding of womanist and feminist approaches to biblical interpretation and the sociohistorical culture of the ancient Near East. This unique and imaginative work is grounded in serious scholarship and will expand conversations about feminist and womanist biblical interpretation.

Most relevant

Womanist Midrash brings to front and centre the female characters from the Old Testament who have too often been marginalised or overlooked. Dr Gafney uses her deep insight and profound scholarship to help understand the experiences of these women and suggest how their stories may powerfully speak into our current context. Analysing the original texts, she challenges many views and assumptions that have been perpetuated through a predominantly male, western reading of scripture and its translations.

The only criticism is that the narration at times is somewhat stilted and could have done with better editing.

Great scholarship
