Distant Voices Drawing Near: Essays in Honor of Antoinette Clark Wire

The sixteen essays in this collection honoring Antoinette Clark Wire were authored by colleagues representing the spectrum of her interests: interculturality, biblical studies, and feminist interpretation. The essays are grouped into four sections: Women and Christian Origins, Placing Women at the Hermeneutical Center, Placing the Text in Context, and Cross-Textual, Intertextual, and Inter-Media Readings. The book also includes a foreword by the editor, a biographical sketch of Wire by her husband and others, and a list of her publications.
