Daughter Zion

This volume showcases recent exploration of the portrait of Daughter Zion as she appears in biblical Hebrew poetry. Using Carleen Mandolfos Daughter Zion Talks Back to the Prophets (Society of Biblical Literature 2007) as a point of departure the contributors to this volume explore the image of Daughter Zion in its many dimensions in various texts in the Hebrew Bible. Approaches used range from poetic rhetorical and linguistic to sociological and ideological. To bring the conversation full circle Carleen Mandolfo engages in a dialogic response with her interlocutors. The contributors are Mark J. Boda Mary L. Conway Stephen L. Cook Carol J. Dempsey LeAnn Snow Flesher Michael H. Floyd Barbara Green John F. Hobbins Mignon R. Jacobs Brittany Kim Cheryl A. Kirk-Duggan Christl M. Maier Carleen Mandolfo Jill Middlemas Kim Lan Nguyen and Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer.
