In this guest-edited issue of Biblical Reception, edited by Diane Apostolos-Cappadona, contributors examine the reception of the bible in art. Most of the contributions focus on biblical women, or on encounters with women in the bible.

The volume is roughly chronological in structure, beginning with two pieces on Eve, one of which compares representations of Eve with those of the Virgin Mary, the other which considers how Eve is presented in Islamic texts and images. Following a contribution on Esther and Sarah the volume moves on to consider New Testament texts, with notable focus on women at the peripheries of society (the woman with the hemorrhage in Mark's gospel and the woman of Samaria). Attention is also paid to representations of Mary Magdalene and of Judith and Salome. The volume concludes with a piece on apocalyptic imagery and the woman clothed with the sun of Revelation 12. Featuring over 50 high quality color images, this volume provides scholarship of the highest level on biblical art.

Industry Reviews

The ten contributors to this beautifully illustrated volume examine the reception of biblical women ranging from Eve to the woman clothed with the sun. In this stellar example of visual exegesis, the points of view vary from that of the artist to that of the viewer, as well as from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives... Overall, the ten articles illuminate differing angles of visual exegesis, yet cohere well." - Catholic Biblical Quarterly

[Biblical Reception,5] is well illustrated and entirely in color. For biblical scholars, especially feminist readers, it provides a new vantage point; for specialists in art, literature, or music, it invites further dialogue with the Bible and those who study it. - Reading Religion
