Sommario/riassunto

Phyllis Trible's Texts of Terror is a landmark among those studying women of the Bible.Focusing on stories of the maltreatment of women, Trible paved the way for subsequent feminist exegetes who have been very critical of such stories in the Bible, and who see Christianity as an



unredeemably patriarchal religion.
