Pentateuch

Alice Laffey's rereading of the major themes of the first five books of the Bible will enable readers to gain a firm grasp of the contents of this major literary corpus. Like other volumes in this series it will also point the way to a different reading of Scripture one that raises today's questions-power liberation justice and preeminently connectedness. Laffey highlights neglected resources in the text in order to approach these texts from the perspective of a respectfully interdependent worldview. In this work we witness a radical expansion and transformation of feminist biblical criticism to incorporate concern for all humans all animals all nature in a global even cosmic way.
