Title: Gender and power in medieval exegesis
Description: This book analyzes the nexus of gender and power in biblical commentaries from the fifth to the fifteenth century. After establishing a feminist-historicist perspective on the tradition of biblical commentary, Theresa Tinkle develops in-depth case studies that situate scholars reading the bible in three distinct historical moments, and in so doing exposes the cultural pressures that medieval scholars felt as they interpreted the bible.
