This book forms a conclusion to the series of 10 volumes published in the groundbeaking Feminist Companion to the Bible since 1993. Not only is this the Companion to the Companion, it is at the same time the forerunner and companion to a second series of nine volumes of the Feminist Companion now in production. The essays in this multi-authored book have distinct methodological slant, reflecting the numerous developments in feminist criticism that have occurred since the first books in the series were published, and forming an indispensible handbook for every biblical scholar and student today.
