About This Book

Alice Laffey's The Pentateuch points the way to a different reading of Scripture, one that raises fresh questions for the contemporary reader: power, liberation, justice, and preeminently, connectedness. Laffey's rereading of the major themes of the first five books of the Bible enables readers to gain a firm grasp of the contents of this major literary corpus.

She highlights neglected resources in the biblical texts in order "to approach these texts from the perspective of a respectfully interdependent worldview." This radical expansion and transformation of feminist biblical criticism incorporates concern for all humans, all animals, all nature, in a global - even cosmic - way.
