A Feminist Companion To Mark

Feminist Companion to the New Testament and Early Christian Writings #2

by Amy-Jill Levine (Editor), Marianne Blickenstaff

Launching a new series to include both reprints of classic studies and specially commissioned essays (includes essays by J. Dewey, S. Ringe, R. Wickramaratne-Rebera and E. Struthers Malbon). A Feminist Companion to Mark, edited and introduced by A-J Levine of Vanderbilt University, contains contributions by beginning as well as established scholars, with both previously published work and new essays. In some cases, scholars have been invited to re-visit their earlier work; in others, they have sought to apply their earlier insights to new texts. This volume includes contributions by J. Dewey, D. Krause, W. Cotter, S. Ringe, R. Wickramaratne-Rebera, E. Struthers Malbon, D. McDonald, M. Sawicki, H. Kinukawa, K. Corley and V. Phillips.
