The Woman's Bible

A collaborative revision and critique focuses on scriptural passages concerning women, compiling translations, historical analysis, and accessible commentaries to challenge traditional interpretations that have justified female subordination. Contributors identify and extract texts from Genesis through Deuteronomy, assign Hebrew and Greek scholars to clarify original meanings, consult manuscript history and symbolism, and employ a committee of women to produce plain-English readings. The introduction argues that creeds, laws, and religious practice have intertwined to limit women's rights, and the work seeks measured retranslation and commentary to expose patriarchal biases and propose more equitable understandings.
