Daughter Zion, Mother Zion: Gender, Space, and the Sacred in Ancient Israel
"Christl Maier's work in Daughter Zion, Mother Zion is a remarkable acheivement in "billingual" scholarship. Not only is Maier someone equally at home in the German and Anglo-American traditions of biblical criticism, but she also engages traditional historical-critical forms of inquiry with novel feminist theories of the body and provocative theories of spatiality itself." --Carol A. Newsom, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Old Testament, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
