Review
In this volume Schüssler Fiorenza continues her project on the formulation of a critical feminist biblical hermeneutics. Here she proceeds to shed further light on the trajectory and the practice of this hermeneutics. With highly sophisticated theoretical reflections, incisive practical applications, this is a most valuable contribution to this ongoing and ever-developing project, therefore, and one to be warmly welcomed. –Fernando F. Segovia
