Editorial Reviews

A doctoral thesis accepted by the Department of Religion in the U. of Queensland, April 1990. Explains the theoretical framework of the feminist study of scripture. Presents a narrative critical reading of the first gospel. Examines in detail the prologue; the miracle stories; the Canaanite women; women in the journey to Jerusalem, passion, and resurrection; and minor stories. Discusses women in the contemporary community. Wainright concludes that the gospel of Matthew is marked by tension, ambiguity, and anomaly whenever women function as significant characters.
