Professor Trible focuses on four variations upon the theme of
terror in the Bible. By combining the discipline of literary
criticism with the hermeneutics of feminism, she reinterprets
the tragic stories of four women in ancient Israel: Hagar,
Tamar, an unnamed concubine, and the daughter of Jephthah. In
highlighting the silence, absence, and opposition of God, as
well as human cruelty, Trible shows how these neglected stories
challenge both the misogyny of Scripture and its use in church,
synagogue, and academy. Customer Reviews for Texts of Terror
