A Feminist Companion to Paul (2004 Levine, Blickenstaff), edited volume

A Feminist Companion to Paul (2004) is a volume edited by Amy-Jill Levine, and Marianne Blickenstaff.

Abstract

"A feminist companion to the authentic writings of Paul is bound to generate a good deal of controversy, given the apostle's often provocative and sometimes ambiguous statements about the place of women in the body of Christ. In this formidable collection of essays, Richard Hays, Mary Anne Beavis, Daniel Boyarin, Kathleen Corely, Beverley Gaventa and Luise Schottroff, among others, explore and expose the play of gender roles in Paul's thought and in the organization of the communities he founded and to which he wrote.
