Bible Trouble: Queer Reading at the Boundaries of Biblical Scholarship (Society for Biclical Literature Semeia Studies, 67)

0/5 ( ratings)

The title is a play on Judith Butler's Gender Trouble , as this collection of 16 essays engages queer theory in biblical interpretation; "boundaries" refers to queer theory increasingly being applied in contexts broader than sexuality and gender. Hornsby and Stone see parallels between hegemonic binaries or queerness and the creation out of chaos in Genesis. Queer theologians and other scholars critique historical-critical exegesis and view the relationships of such biblical characters as David and Saul, and the gender reversals of Jael, Deborah, and Rahab through the lenses of contemporary identity politics .
