Description

This scholarly volume examines humour involving women in biblical narratives, raising critical questions about whether such humour genuinely amuses or demeans. The author challenges readers to reconsider stories previously interpreted as serious, inviting fresh perspectives on the role of comedy in ancient texts. Designed for biblical scholars and anyone interested in the intersection of humour, women, and religious studies, this book explores the equivocal and ambiguous nature of humour in biblical literature. Part of The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series, it presents a nuanced analysis that appeals to academic audiences and general readers alike who seek deeper understanding of biblical interpretation and gender representation.

Part of The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series, volume 383, offering academic credibility.
