Reviews

[Matthew Colvin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book's provocative thesis is pretty clearly true: Deuteronomic legislation about women is framed in response to narratives in Genesis. I was unconvinced by the more speculative attempts to reconstruct the thought processes of "the lawgiver", but the book abounds in exegetical insights.
