In this seminal work of biblical studies, renowned scholar Phyllis Trible focuses on four variations on the theme of terror in the Bible. By combining the discipline of literary criticism with the hermeneutics of feminism, she reinterprets the tragic stories of four women in ancient Israel: 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.

Phyllis Trible is a renowned scholar in the field of feminist biblical scholarship. She has served as the Baldwin Professor of Sacred Literature, Union Theological Seminary, New York, as well as associate dean, professor of biblical studies, and university professor at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Her groundbreaking books include God and the Rhetoric of Sexuality and Rhetorical Criticism. Gale A. Yee is Nancy W. King Professor Emerita of Episcopal Divinity School.
