Womanist Midrash

Focusing on the often-overlooked women of the Hebrew Scriptures, this work presents an innovative midrashic interpretation using original translations. Gafney draws from the African American preaching tradition to highlight the stories of various female characters, blending womanist and feminist approaches with a deep understanding of the sociohistorical context of the ancient Near East. This scholarly yet imaginative exploration aims to enrich discussions surrounding feminist and womanist biblical interpretation, offering fresh insights into these biblical figures.
