Womanist Midrash is an in- depth and creative exploration of the well- and lesser-known women of the Hebrew Scriptures. Using her own translations, Gafney offers a midrashic interpretation of the biblical text that is rooted in the African American preaching tradition to tell the stories of a variety of female characters, many of whom are often overlooked and nameless. Gafney employs a solid understanding of womanist and feminist approaches to biblical interpretation and the sociohistorical culture of the ancient Near East. This unique and imaginative work that is grounded in serious scholarship will expand conversations about feminist and womanist biblical interpretation.

6 out of 5 stars!

This book is absolutely stunning. Textually rich and wonderfully illuminating, Womanist Midrash is required reading for everyone. Dr Gafney has written a resource that I can’t imagine being without.

—Tristan Sherwin, author of Living the Dream?:The Problem with Escapist, Exhibitionist, Empire-Building Christianity

Filled with information, yet well explained and enjoyable.

This book is brilliant, It took ages to get here, but well worth the wait.
I haven't finished it as it's incredibly dense and so I'm enjoying reading small bits and digesting it, but I have found what i have read so far really fascinating and transformational. A breath of fresh air into my understanding of the Old Testament.

Paul

An outstanding read!

Dr Gafney brings the reader into the heart of Biblical texts from a critical womanist perspective. This work helped me to see how dominant the androcentric and patriarchal lens is in my reading of scripture. I am forever changed!

Brilliant book, highly recommend this to anyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2018

Verified Purchase

Brilliant book, highly recommend this to anyone, but particularly those learning to preach, as a tour de force in listening for the voices which get shouted down so often - those of the outcast, the stranger and the women.
