Discovering Eve: Ancient Israelite Women in Context by Carol Meyers (English) Pa

Description: Discovering Eve by Carol Meyers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The everyday life of women in ancient Israel cannot be reconstructed from biblical sources alone. This book uses archaeological and anthropological research to form a picture of their status and way of life. Publisher Description This groundbreaking study looks beyond biblical texts, which have had a powerful influence over our views of womens roles and worth, in order to reconstruct the typical everyday lives of women in ancient Israel. Meyers argues that biblical sources alone do not give a true picture of ancient Israelite women because urban elite males wrote the vast majority of the scriptural texts and the stories of women in the Bible concern exceptional individuals rather thanordinary Israelite women. Analyzing the biblical material in light of recent archaeological discoveries about rural village life in ancient Palestine, Meyers depicts Israelite women not as submissivechattel in an oppressive patriarchy, but rather as strong and significant actors within their families and society. Author Biography Carol Meyers is Professor of Religion at Duke University.
