Contested Masculinities

Polysemy and Gender in 1 Thessalonians

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Conventional interpretations of biblical texts tend to overlook how the text and its interpretation is gendered as a white male enterprise. This book exposes centrist readings that underwrite expressions of masculinity that are singular and instead offers a playful reading that amplifies transgressive possibilities for masculine expression.
