Abstract

De laatste jaren is het debat over de status van vrouwen in het hedendaagse Jodendom gegroeid. Het seculiere Westerse leven biedt vrouwen grotere kansen op educatief gebied en in het beroepsleven en de maatschappij onderschrijft de gelijkheid van mannen en vrouwen. Hierdoor is de ontevredenheid over de traditionele Joodse grenzen van vrouwelijke participatie in religieuze, academische en maatschappelijke activiteiten gegroeid. Hoewel er vele hedendaagse antwoorden zijn op de traditionele Joodse idee van de rol van de vrouw, ontbreken er in de discussie perspectieven vanuit het verleden. Dit boek wil een dergelijke historische excursie bieden. Elk essay biedt een overzicht van de periode in kwestie en stelt vragen rond de algemene situatie van Joodse vrouwen en hun activiteiten in het door mannen gedomineerde publieke en intellectuele leven, als ook in een grotere niet-Joodse culturele omgeving. De beeldvorming van Joodse vrouwen in de verschillende periodes komt eveneens aan bod.

Abstract

This book argues that women served as leaders in a number of synagogues during the Roman and Byzantine periods. The evidence for this consists of nineteen Greek and Latin inscriptions in which women bear the titles "head of the synagogue," "leader," "elder," "mother of the synagogue" and "priestess." These inscriptions range in date from 27 B.C.E. to perhaps the sixth century C.E. and in provenance from Italy to Asia Minor, Egypt and Palestine. While new discoveries make this a growing corpus of material, a number of the inscriptions have been known to scholars for some time. The book contains a new preface by the author.

Abstract

Ross Shepard Kraemer vividly recreates the religious lives of early Christian, Jewish, and pagan women, with many fascinating examples (...). The relationship among female autonomy, sexuality, and religion emerges as a persistent theme. Analyzing the monastic Jewish Therapeutae and various Christian communities, Kraemer demonstrates the paradoxical liberation which women achieved by rejection of sexuality, the body, and the female. In the epilogue, Kraemer pursues the disturbing implications such findings have for contemporary women. [publisher's description]

Abstract

Beginning with a startling endorsement of the patristic view of Judaism-that it was a "carnal" religion, in contrast to the spiritual vision of the Church-Daniel Boyarin argues that rabbinic Judaism was based on a set of assumptions about the human body that were profoundly different from those of Christianity. The body-specifically, the sexualized body-could not be renounced, for the Rabbis believed as a religious principle in the generation of offspring and hence in intercourse sanctioned by marriage.This belief bound men and women together and made impossible the various modes of gender separation practiced by early Christians. The commitment to coupling did not imply a resolution of the unequal distribution of power that characterized relations between the sexes in all late-antique societies. But Boyarin argues strenuously that the male construction and treatment of women in rabbinic Judaism did not rest on a loathing of the female body. Thus, without ignoring the currents of sexual domination that course through the Talmudic texts, Boyarin insists that the rabbinic account of human sexuality, different from that of the Hellenistic Judaisms and Pauline Christianity, has something important and empowering to teach us today.
