Discovering Eve Ancient Israelite Women in Context
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr on Demand
- Publish date: 01/01/1991
Description:
This groundbreaking study looks beyond biblical texts, which have had a powerful influence over our views of women's roles and worth, in order to reconstruct the typical everyday lives of women in ancient Israel. Meyers argues that biblical sources alone do not give a true picture of ancient Israelite women because urban elite males wrote the vast majority of the scriptural texts and the stories of women in the Bible concern exceptional individuals rather thanordinary Israelite women. Analyzing the biblical material in light of recent archaeological discoveries about rural village life in ancient Palestine, Meyers depicts Israelite women not as submissivechattel in an oppressive patriarchy, but rather as strong and significant actors within their families and society.
