Anne Thurston takes familiar biblical stories about women and reads them against the grain. From her perspective as a Christian feminist, the author resists traditional interpretations and sets out to discover what the texts might be inviting us to today. Thurston is particularly interested in seeing whether these texts can be life-giving for both women and men. Can they be understood as liberating? Can women be nourished for their faith journey from these roots? Can they help to transform the Christian community today?
