Day 1 - Texts of Terror by Phyllis Trible (2022 Fortress Press) - nominated by Peter Catt

By combining the discipline of literary criticism with the hermeneutics of feminism, Phyllis Trible reinterprets the tragic stories of four women in ancient Hagar, Tamar, an unnamed concubine, and the daughter of Jephthah. In highlighting the silence, absence, and opposition 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.
