  • Fragmented Womenby J. Cheryl Exum

    Continuum International Publishing 1997; US$ 130.00

    In the biblical narratives, women are usually minor characters in the stories of men. Fragments of women's stories must be gleaned from the more cohesive stories of their fathers, husbands and sons. Fragmented Women begins with the premise that, to recover shards of women's stories from androcentric texts like the Bible, it is necessary to... more...

  • Sodom and Gomorrahby Weston W. Fields

    Continuum International Publishing 1997; US$ 130.00

    According to Fields, biblical narrative is didactic socio-religious commentary on human experience, reflected in 'history', and that such 'history' is a way of describing the conceptual universe of the ancient authors.

And if so, how did it fit into the pattern... more...

  • Forms of Deformityby Lynn A. Holden

    Continuum International Publishing 1991; US$ 170.00

    A vigorous imagination is the principal source for many of the abnormalities of fictional characters. Many of the motifs also bear some relation to the rituals and religious symbols embraced by the people among whom they are or were at one time, current. Another important source can be found in symbolism of a religious or social kind. This motif-index... more...
