Meredith Warren deposited The Mother of Rufus and Paul in Romans 16 in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoRufus’s mother features in Paul’s concluding list of church leaders such as Phoebe in Romans 16. Paul calls her his own mother.

Meredith Warren deposited Muted and Hidden Monsters in Revelation 12 in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoThe Woman clothed with the Sun makes a brief appearance in Revelation 12; however, her influence upon the imaginations of artists and interpreters is substantive.

Meredith Warren deposited Forgetting the Forgetter: The Cupbearer in the Joseph Saga (Genesis 40–41) in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoTypically, the cupbearer in Genesis 40–41 is interpreted only as a member of Joseph’s supporting cast. However, closely reading this minor character suggests more options for interpreting both him and other anonymous courtiers found throughout the Hebrew Bible.

Meredith Warren deposited The Social Dynamics Surrounding Yahwistic Women’s Supposed Ritual Deviance in Ezekiel 13:17–23 in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoThis article suggests that in Ezekiel 13:17–23 we have an example of the ritual activities of Yahwistic women being undermined. However, rather than opening the hermeneutical crux of attempting to understand what it is the women are doing or how their ritual activity is functioning, I will focus squarely on the broader social dynamics in the t…[Read more]

Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoIs anonymity a form of violence? The woman of Judges 19 endured gang-rape and dismemberment, and neither the Bible nor its ancient exegetes gave her a name. This article surveys the modern writers and scholars who chose new names for her, examining how their choices of names reflected their broader goals for retelling her story. From there, I turn…[Read more]
