Women's Bible Commentary by Sharon H. Ringe, Carol A. Newsom
5.0

 A stunning work of feminist scholarship. In my opinion, best read cover-to-cover, as it builds on points it introduces. A book I lovingly underlined and will definitely come back to.

Women have been asking these questions for centuries, and while there aren't easy answers—in fact, in some cases I don't think there are answers at all—just the act of asking them is radical. 

"The reading of the Bible is a never-ending task," and this book gave me company as I continue on that journey.
