Description: This volume showcases recent exploration of the portrait of Daughter Zion as "she" appears in biblical Hebrew poetry. Using Carleen Mandolfo's Daughter Zion Talks Back to the Prophets as a point of departure, the contributors of this volume explore the image of Daughter Zion in its many dimensions in various texts in the Hebrew Bible. Approaches used range from poetic, rhetorical, and linguistic to sociological and ideological. --From publisher's description.
Notes: Contributions partly in response to title: Daughter Zion talks back to the prophets: a dialogic theology of the book of Lamentations / Carleen R. Mandolfo (Atlanta : Society of Biblical Literature, c2007) and feminine images within the Hebrew Bible, especially as related to the relationship between Zion and God.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 369-400) and indexes.
