Description

This scholarly work from Routledge examines the complex dynamics of sexual relationships and sacred sexuality in ancient Hebrew society, exploring how women navigated constrained social and economic roles whilst maintaining certain rights to property and inheritance. The book investigates patronymic marriage practices and ritual fecundity within the context of ancient family structures, where fathers and husbands wielded significant authority over wives and daughters, sometimes deploying them as sexual gifts to establish favour and alliances. By analysing legitimate and illegitimate relations, the text reveals how women utilised their socio-economic rights to protect themselves and maintain agency. This academic study combines historical analysis with theological and spiritual perspectives to illuminate the often-overlooked experiences of women in biblical times, offering fresh insights into gender dynamics, power structures, and the role of sexuality in ancient Hebrew culture and religious practice.
