While the paper focuses on feminist theology in particular, the same methodology is used by those advocating a new interpretation of the scriptures towards the practice of homosexuality.... A subtle but radical difference in hermeneutics has taken place at this juncture. For while conservatives and fundamentalists may disagree about the meaning of the text, they agree about its authority. Now, however, the authority of the intended meaning of the text is relativized by appealing to a hermeneutical authority that exists not in the text itself, but in the vantage point of the interpreter. In other words, the authority is not in what the text claims to say, but in what the individual interpreter sees as the hermeneutical and authoritative key.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Jefferis

The first hermeneutical tension concern the issue of readers&#39; prejudices. Feminists remind us that readers are always disposed to read texts against the background of their own expectations, customs, and world views. And the second hermeneutical tension, namely the tension over the nature of the actual practices of the first century church. Evangelical feminists have tended to give different answers depending on the passage that they are interpreting. In sum, feminism in its hermeneutical principles alerts us to the role of reader prejudice and social background in understanding texts.

This paper explores the tension between these two critical approaches through a focus on current ideological readings of biblical &quot;pornoprophetics,&quot; that is, prophetic metaphors of promiscuous women who are stripped and raped as punishment for their transgressions. The conclusion that these images are indicative of misogynic attitudes in ancient Israel is challenged for its failure to account sufficiently for the difference between ancient and modern worldviews.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"A Conversation between Ideological and Social Scientific Feminist Approaches to the Bible","attachmentId":116765180,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/122017921/A_Conversation_between_Ideological_and_Social_Scientific_Feminist_Approaches_to_the_Bible","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/122017921/A_Conversation_between_Ideological_and_Social_Scientific_Feminist_Approaches_to_the_Bible"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="12011211" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/12011211/Scripture_as_the_Occasion_for_Feminism">Scripture as the Occasion for Feminism</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="7391221" href="https://ctu.academia.edu/EdwardTverdek">Edward Tverdek</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">No one confuses sacred Scripture with a manual for feminist liberation. This essay accepts this truism, but argues that to ask why this is so is a meaningful question, especially given that many people do in fact see the Bible as chronicle of God’s revelation regarding the liberation of the oppressed – be they the Israelites, the poor, or society’s marginalized in general. Why is it, then, this discussion probes, that the subjugation of women seems more bolstered than threatened by the Bible? How, then, do we account for the emergence and resilience of feminist biblical interpretation?</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline

The first section of this paper thus discusses how the first act of reconciliation could be seen in terms of the contribution lesbian biblical hermeneutics might make for those who identify as lesbian and who struggle to square this with their allegiances to scriptures that are often deployed to condemn their choices. However some deploy the Bible to disseminate anti-lesbian rhetoric. At the foundation of religious positional statements on homosexuality is usually a small clutch of texts on which an entire debate hinges: they are made to speak – across the centuries and geographical divides — of God’s unequivocal condemnation. In this context, a voice for lesbian biblical interpretation is vital, not only for resisting those texts of terror and their use in the contemporary world, but also in reclaiming scriptural stories in ways that demonstrate how the Bible is not a one-directional text. These two things – reconciliation in terms of healing oneself from internalized homonegativity and reconciliation in terms of engaging with those who would use the Bible to condemn – do not happen in isolation, but are interlocked; and it is difficult for one to proceed without the other. Moreover, while the reconciliation envisaged for the former appears to be able to proceed relatively smoothly, reconciliation in terms of the latter venture has been much more of a bumpy road, littered with beasts and spectres of paedophiles. This paper addresses the issues that have arisen when taking lesbian biblical hermeneutics ‘on the road’ and attempt to unpack some of the resistance to reconciliation that I have met.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"‘Encountering Beasts: Lesbian Biblical Hermeneutics on the Road’ Conclilium: International Journal for Theology 1 (2008) pp. 105-119.","attachmentId":31450826,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/191503/_Encountering_Beasts_Lesbian_Biblical_Hermeneutics_on_the_Road_Conclilium_International_Journal_for_Theology_1_2008_pp_105_119","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/191503/_Encountering_Beasts_Lesbian_Biblical_Hermeneutics_on_the_Road_Conclilium_International_Journal_for_Theology_1_2008_pp_105_119"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="88250225" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/88250225/The_Bible_and_Feminism_Remapping_the_Field">The Bible and Feminism: Remapping the Field</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="30175482" href="https://brite.academia.edu/AmySmithCarman">Amy Smith Carman</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2021</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Review of Sherwood, Yvonne.
