Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Katie J. Woolstenhulme considers the pertinent questions: Who were the matriarchs, and what did the rabbis think about them? Whilst scholarship on the role of women in the Bible and Rabbinic Judaism has increased, the authoritative group of women known as the matriarchs has been neglected. This volume consequently focuses on the role and status of the biblical matriarchs in Genesis Rabbah, the fifth century CE rabbinic commentary on Genesis. Woolstenhulme begins by discussing the nature of midrash and introducing Genesis Rabbah; before exploring the term the matriarchs and its development through early exegetical literature, culminating in the emergence of two definitions of the term in Genesis Rabbah the matriarchs as the legitimate wives of Israels patriarchs, and the matriarchs as a reference to Jacobs four wives, who bore Israels tribal ancestors. She then moves to discuss the matriarchal cycle in Genesis Rabbah with its three stages of barrenness; motherhood; and succession. Finally, Woolstenhulme considers Genesis Rabbahs portrayal of the matriarchs as representatives of the female sex, exploring positive and negative rabbinic attitudes towards women with a focus on piety, prayer, praise, beauty and sexuality, and the matriarchs exemplification of stereotypical, negative female traits. This volume concludes that for the ancient rabbis, the matriarchs were the historical mothers of Israel, bearing covenant sons, but also the present mothers of Israel, continuing to influence Jewish identity.
