 An insightful look at the women of the Old Testament, 2009-01-05
Ms. Tikva Frymer-Kensky has written a helpful analysis of the Bible's women. She discusses them as Victors (Deborah, Rivka, Rahab, Wise Women) Victims (Sarah, The Levite's concubine, Lot's daughters, Jephthah's daughter, Batheheba, David's daughter Tamar) Virgins (Dinah,Jezebel, Cozbi, Hagar, Ruth, the Moabite, Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar, Outsiders) and [prophetic] Voice (Rahab, Deborah, Hannah, Saul's necromancer, Abigail, Huldah).
Frymer-Kensky is a professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Chicago's Divinity School. She brings in material from Jewish scholars that may not be familiar to Christian scholars. This enriches her work.

 Very Informative, But a Little Boring, 2007-07-23
The author provides a very scholarly analysis of women in the Old Testament. If more intellectual reading is not your thing, then this may not be the book for you. However, if you are into writing that is a little more dense, then you might like it. She provides a lot of interesting points. If you want to read about some of the symbolism and meaning of women in the bible, this book could pose very helpful.

 Bible women lives and life, 2007-04-07
Real different perspective of women and their roles in biblical studies. I shared with my Bible study folks and the ladies were most interested and shared the book. Also see "and Sarah laughed" for similar stories.

One of the most interesting books about women of the Hebrew Bible, 2005-12-20
I have read a few dozen such books and I was very impressed by this one. Tikva Frymer-Kensky is very scholarly she often defers to the original Hebrew. Her work is well documented, yet very readable. I was particularly impressed by her treatment of Hagar. Most Jewish authors either portray her negatively or ignore her altogether.

Thoughtfully engaging interpretation of their stories , 2005-02-10
In Tikva Frymer-Kensky's Reading The Women Of The Bible: A New Interpretation Of Their Stories, gender issues in the Bible are tackled from the perspective of proposing a new taxonomy of four discourses involving women, reflecting the author's background as a professor of Hebrew Bible at the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. Informed and informative, Professor Tikva Frymer-Kensky's new and thoughtfully engaging interpretation of their stories includes liberal quotes from the Bible and insights into early Biblical influences and is very highly recommended reading.
