Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza has penned a wonderful endorsement of Jennifer Bird's book, 'Abuse, Power and Fearful Obedience'.
"Dr. Bird’s recent book Abuse, Power and Fearful Obedience: Reconsidering 1 Peter’s Commands to Wives (Lodon/NewYork: T&T Clark, 2011) indicates the great strength of her critical feminist approach. She not only explores skillfully the socio-political rhetoric of the letter but also contextualizes it in the socio-political and religious experience of contemporary readers. It is paradigmatic not only for a critical historical investigation of the letter but also for developing a feminist cultural and contextual approach to religious texts."
Bird's book is now available in paperback! Here:
