Perkins School of Theology Journal: If I sound enthusiastic, I am! Buy this book soon! It is exegesis of a caliber hardly to be found anywhere, and illlumination of the biblical riches which wil leave your imagination, and hopefully also your faith tingling.

Journal of the American Academy of Religion: Professor Trible brings and eloquence and lucidity to her search for what faith has lost. The female imagery that she finds and expresses so beautifully recover an ancient but neglected treasure.

Amazon.com: Bible-Friendly feminism. Trible manages to combine an egalitarian feminist outlook with great sensitivity and love for the original text of the Hebrew scriptures. She does not force a feminist reading on the Bible. Rather, she enriches our understanding by pointing out important biblical themes which are of special interest to feminists, but which may be appreciated by anyone seeking a fuller appreciation of scripture. Jews as well as Christians have much to learn from this book
