Texts of Terror by Phyllis Trible
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 oppostition of God, as well as human cruelty, Trible shows how these neglected stories-interpreted in memoriam-challenge both the misogyny of Scripture and its use in church, synagogue, and academy.Baldwin Professor Emerita of Sacred Literature at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, Phyllis Trible Trible specializes in literary and rhetorical interpretation of biblical texts from a feminist viewpoint, and is the author of significant books such as God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality and Texts of Terror: Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives.
