["Sheila E. McGinn, Ph.D." <smcginn AT jcu.edu>]

I have the book, but have not yet started it (part of my 
summer reading plan). As the book was progressing, Tatha 
presented some of this material to the Feminist Hermeneutics 
Task Force of the Catholic Biblical Association, and her 
vantage point struck me as very much in harmony with Elli 
Elliott's work and what I had done in my dissertation, and 
then in an essay (on Gal 3:26-28) in the EGLBS & MWBS 
Proceedings (published in 1993). I assume the treatment is 
more extensive in Wiley's book. I think feminist exegetes 
have been looking at this issue for quite a while, but 
perhaps this volume will be the one that finally breaks into 
what Schuessler Fiorenza calls the "malestream."

I would be happy to participate in a discussion of it, and I 
am sure I could get Tatha to join as well, if any of you are 
interested. You could reply off-list (smcginn AT jcu.edu) to 
let me know. SEM
